An extraordinary friendship is at the heart of an exhibition now on view at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center in Madison, Georgia; that of Atlanta’s late U.S. Rep. John Lewis, and the prolific painter and multimedia artist Benny Andrews.
Andrews produced a series of portraits called “The John Lewis Series,” currently on loan from the National Center for Human and Civil Rights.
The works are being shown through next April as part of the Andrews Family Legacy Project and a permanent exhibition of art, writings and other archival collections from Benny Andrews, George “The Dot Man” Raymond and other members of the remarkable Andrews family.
