Winfred Rembert Has Died at 75
Winfred Rembert, an artist who told harrowing firsthand accounts of Jim Crow South through exquisitely carved and tooled leather, has died at 75. Rembert was born in Americus, Georgia, in 1945. After surviving a near-lynching and seven years in prison, he and his family migrated north. There he turned his experiences into art, which eventually gained him institutional notice. He had a solo show at the York Square Cinema in New Haven in 1998, followed by exhibition at the Yale University Art Gallery. His works were also featured in exhibitions held in Harlem, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and elsewhere.
