Kerry James Marshall (°1955, Birmingham, Alabama) wordt alom beschouwd als een van de grootste schilders van zijn generatie. Zijn oeuvre geeft zijn visie op de complexiteit van de Afro-Amerikaanse situatie, samen met de aanhoudende kwesties van rassenpolitiek, culturele weergave en sociale emancipatie. In een poging om de zwarte identiteit en beelden van westerse idealen te verzoenen, plaatst Marshall beide in zijn schilderijen, die determinaties van de zwarte identiteit belichten binnen een historisch kader en in de context van de huidige sociaal-politieke situatie.
Marshall pakt ook de geschiedenis van de kunst aan: hij streeft ernaar om wat hij omschrijft als de 'leemte in de beeldenbank' te vullen met zijn werk, terwijl hij pertinente vragen opwerpt over hoe het kunstensysteem zichzelf in stand houdt en de daarmee samenhangende problemen van legitimatie, macht en marginalisering.
Schilderijen waren eigenlijk maar een facet van een veelvormige tentoonstelling die ook beeldhouwkunst, fotografie, installatie, collage, video, prints, fotoknipsels en animatiefilm omvatte. Het was juist die esthetische rijkdom en visuele intelligentie die M HKA op de voorgrond trachtte te brengen in de tentoonstelling Kerry James Marshall – Schilderijen en zo – de grootste tentoonstelling van werk van Marshall ooit. Schilderijen en zo richtte zich op ideeën zoals 'de aanpak van de kunstgeschiedenis’, 'noties van schoonheid', 'de beeldenbank’, 'herdenking’ en ‘het alledaagse’. De tentoonstelling toonde een glimp van zijn innerlijke wereld van ideeën en ambities.
