• GREG RIDLEY, CIVIL RIGHTS ERA
  GREG RIDLEY, CIVIL RIGHTS ERA COPPER EAGLE PANELSGregory D. Ridley (American/Tennessee, 1925-2004) Federal Eagles, 1969, two repousse copper panels depicting near-mirror images based on the United States Eagle symbol. Ridley's interpretation of the federal seal, emphasized by the letters U.S. near its tail feathers, portrays the eagles with fierce, dragon-like heads and sharp talons crushing a pair of weeping heads. Both panels are signed lower right and dated 1969, suggesting this work was likely a reaction to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee and the ensuing civil unrest, as well as America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Both panels are mounted on a large, rectangular black painted wood frame. Each panel - 18" square. Frame overall - 29 3/4" H x 52" W.

After his service in the US Navy during WWII, he earned a degree in art education from Tennessee State University and went on to become the first African American to receive a master's degree in fine arts from the University of Louisville. Ridley also attended Fisk University (where he later worked), where he studied under Aaron Douglas, the Harlem Renaissance painter and muralist, who remained a close friend and mentor until his death in 1979. Ridley taught at various Southern universities as well as the City University of New York. One of his last and best-known works was the creation of 80 copper panels for the Grand Reading Room of the Nashville, TN Public Library. Condition: Both overall good condition. Panel #1 - a 1 1/2" dent plus some smaller dents and scratches to upper area of one wing, a few other scattered minor small dents and scratches throughout. Panel #2 - a few minor scattered dents and scratches. The darker oxidation of the panels near the image appears to be as the artist intended.

We lived two miles apart in Queens, and he was like a younger brother to me. We were street kids, and we ran around together—we even destroyed each other's father's car when we were at City College! We were both in ROTC. I first went to Vietnam in 1962, and Tony followed a year or so later. When I returned to the States, I was moved to Fort Benning in Georgia, and Tony ended up there, too." Tony was killed in Vietnam by a booby trap in 1968. Dimensions: Framed: 13 1/4 x 18 3/4 in. (33.66 x 47.63 cm.) Provenance: Estate of General Colin L. Powell, to benefit America's Promise Alliance and the Colin Powell School at City College of New York.
