Looking at the Spirits: Peter Minshall's Carnival Drawings

The acclaimed Trinidadian artist Peter Minshall works in the medium of mas, the costumed performance portion of Carnival. This exhibition of hundreds of small sketches conveys the artist's intensive cumulative process of preparatory drawing as he envisions a full troupe of costumed performers in motion. Minshall has created scenarios for dozens of performances with hundreds of people, including Carnival and the closing ceremonies for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia (1996).
