I did not get to attend Mr. Ransom’s opening but I walked slowly through the gallery of his work yesterday and again today. How touching his work is- even up close. I realize how rare it is to see so many of these everyday scenes of African-American life on the canvas. Ransome is prolific and has a great gift. There is also a wonderful set of panels on his method in his own words. There is such movement in the work and a great deal of light. Really worth seeing in person.
