James Dupree, pathbreaking artist, and Philadelphia, historic city of firsts, are a good match.
Dupree invents his own pigments, forges new art styles and always creates outside societal boundaries, unwilling to play politics to get ahead in the art world. His rebellious life and work, protest and laughter, has been rewarded with several fellowships as well as the Living Legend Award of the Black Alumni Society of the University of Pennsylvania.
Dupree is committed to fostering the next generation of black artists, supporting them in ways he did not, necessarily, experience himself. Tune in to hear more about his colorful life and choice between "fame or fortune."
