This framed stretched canvas print of the painting titled "Black Tie Affair" by Antionette Simmons Hodges beautifully embodies the essence of African American art, capturing the lively atmosphere of social gatherings and formal dances in Washington D.C. during her early years there. The central focus is on a couple embracing passionately—the woman wearing a striking blue and yellow dress and the man dressed in a crisp white suit—showcasing the elegance and sophistication often celebrated in African American art.

The surrounding figures, adorned in vibrant dresses and sleek suits, reflect the cultural richness and diversity that define African American art. The monochromatic background enhances the colorful attire and expressive brushstrokes, creating a sense of energy and celebration that is a hallmark of Black cultural social art. Through her bold use of color and form, Hodges conveys the joy and nostalgia of these formal social gatherings, a theme deeply rooted in African American art traditions.

This ready-to-hang giclee print is a timeless representation of Black art, perfect for adding uplifting, joyful energy to any contemporary living space or gallery wall. It evokes the vibrant social scene of Washington D.C., blending cultural heritage with artistic expression. As a stunning example of African American art, this piece celebrates the elegance, community, and creativity that define the genre.
