To say that Gilda Snowden left an impression on Detroit’s art world, and a profound sadness after her untimely death, would be an understatement. Snowden’s legacy continues to be celebrated, however, this time with an exhibit of self-portraits called Chronicle.

The series of paintings featuring abstract silhouettes of the artist opens with a reception at M Contemporary Art on Friday.

Fellow Detroit artist Senghor Reid writes about the series in his essay, “From Steps Into Shadow”: “In her Chronicle drawings, Gilda endeavored to make a record of her existence devoid of any facial features of identifying physical traits, except for her profile and the interplay of her hair.
