If I Show You My Tenderness from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

Discovery

Larry Francis Lebby
If I Show You My Tenderness, 1980
lithograph print
17 x 22.5 in

“This print was produced in memory of my friend Alex English’s grandmother and her sisters. The figures in the foreground although seen as a group, become individual because of the strong variation of values among hem. This variation also gives the print a rhythmic quality. In the background is a delicately rendered antebellum house which assumes aspects of a stage set.”

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
