Clifford Prince King

by Travis Jeppesen on October 5, 2020

“Like a great minimalist storyteller, King derives maximum narrative impact from the smallest gestures and assemblages—hidden ironies mold their pathos. A sense of formal refinement serves as an affective complement to the intimacies the artist so delicately evokes. To the canon of black queer brilliance, King adds the potent splendor of understatement.”
