Black Messiah Fine Art Canvas Print

The Story Behind Black Messiah

John Bellamy first encountered Willie Beal and his work in Chicago in the early 1970s. What began with an interest in Willie's art grew through months of conversations about art, history, culture and spirituality — and eventually developed into a friendship and business partnership.

Willie had already created The Black Madonna, part of a larger artistic philosophy centered on representation. In his own surviving written statement, Willie described his aim as creating new images of Black people that restored dignity, while reflecting on spirituality, identity, respect and love.

As John and Willie continued talking, John encouraged him to explore additional Black spiritual imagery. One of the ideas they discussed was a Black Messiah. Willie took that idea and created the painting. When John saw the finished work alongside The Black Madonna, he believed the two images deserved to reach an audience far beyond Chicago.

John began looking for a way to reproduce and distribute the works nationally. That search led to Nu-Dell Plastics Corporation in Chicago, which manufactured and distributed framed reproductions of The Black Messiah and The Black Madonna. Surviving Nu-Dell promotional material identifies Willie Beal as the artist and shows that the works entered commercial distribution during the 1970s.

The Story Survived, Too.

John preserved the original Nu-Dell production materials used to reproduce the work — including color separations and plates that remain part of the Willie Beal archive today.

LOOK AGAIN.

Black Messiah is more than an image from another era. It is part of a larger story about representation, who we expect to see reflected in sacred imagery, and an artist whose work is only now beginning to be recovered.
