15 Lawrence Hall Drive Williamstown, MA 01267 Mildred Thompson painting New Acquisition @ The Williams College Museum of Art On your next museum visit, we invite you to spend time in the Reading Room just off the Weston Rotunda, where Mildred Thompson’s painting Advancing Impulses (1997) is now on view. Mildred Thompson (American, 1936–2003) was a pioneering Black LGBTQ artist, writer, musician, and educator whose visual art practice included painting, printmaking, sculpture, and photography. Known for her abstract language of bright colors and calligraphic forms, Thompson said of her compositions that “there are symbolic things that have to be learned to make work universal—you can’t limit who you communicate with. … But you have to know yourself. Everything I touch will be part Black and female—all my success and the things I have gotten are part of that.”
