Marshall gave an important speech at Museum Ludwig on receiving the Wolfgang Hahn Prize in 2014, which is now being published as a book. Marshall is as much a painters´ painter as an astute social critic and incredible authority on art history. In the text he talks about his life, about his interest in Afro-American culture, about social injustice, race relations, power dynamics and ultimately calls for the black subject, so long ignored in art history, to finally be represented-in reaction to the fact that beauty has been synonymous with being white through almost all of art history.
