This book provides a behind-the-scenes view of the debut feature film, Exhibiting Forgiveness, by renowned artist and director, Titus Kaphar. The film follows Tarrell, a successful Black painter, who reunites with his estranged father, La’Ron. Having endured years of La’Ron’s addiction and abuse as a child, the trauma of Tarrell’s past reverberates throughout his life and art. Facing his newly sober father, Tarrell must reconcile himself with his childhood and determine how to move forward. With poignant performances by André Holland, Andra Day, John Earl Jelks, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Exhibiting Forgiveness masterfully depicts the cycle of abuse and comments on the power dynamics of the contemporary art world.
Juxtaposing a marked-up script with film stills, this publication captures the transformation of Exhibiting Forgiveness into a feature film. It also illustrates fifteen paintings that Kaphar created for the movie to showcase Tarrell’s vibrant artistic practice.
