MARIETTA, GA (PNAN) – On the agenda, another new exhibition at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, opens Saturday, September 20, 2025, “History Lessons” by Ahmad Hassan Taylor, an Atlanta-based visual artist and also known “The Atlanta Illustrator” is a storyteller. His highly recognizable work, especially portrait paintings, challenge conventional narratives within art history.
The artist says, “My heritage is the main influence for this body of work, as I come from a long line of creatives and educators that have positively contributed to this narrative. Though many prominent portraitures throughout history are well-known to the public, I could not think of any that looked quite like me.” Visitors will find out during an Opening Reception on Sunday, September 21, from 1:00-3:00 pm. He went on to say, “I often wonder what will happen to our language, history, and culture as we adapt to technology and the persistent flux within our world. My goal is to help alleviate this potential loss of information by creating thoughtful pieces of artwork that educate the world about these influencers of positive change.”
