International Visions

International Visions is proud to present paintings by Ulysses Marshall in the exhibition entitled “Stolen/Still Standing”. Marshall states, “The intent of these works of art is to evoke memories of our passage from slavery to slaves. It is to appreciate the pride, strength, courage and dignity of surviving in a strange land. For without their suffering/pain and a history of their journey our freedom would not be possible.”

Marshall paints the things he values; family connections, the individual’s dignity and worth and the rich history of African American culture.
