The Art of Mickalene Thomas

Video (5:34): CBS News Sunday Morning’s correspondent Tracy Smith talks with queer artist Mickalene Thomas about her muses and her mixing of media, from collage and silkscreen to rhinestones.

In college Mickalene Thomas studied pre-law because she wanted to change the world. But then she saw an exhibition of photographs by Carrie Mae Weems, and she knew then what she wanted to do. The 53-year-old artist, who creates pieces celebrating women, is now being featured in an exhibition at the Broad Museum in Los Angeles titled “Mickalene Thomas: All About Love” [May 25 – Sep 29, 2024]. – CBS News Sunday Morning
