#Sexypink/The Beacon magazine

[sexypinkon]

Cover of Beacon Magazine April 1932. The Society of Trinidad Independents was probably the most progressive of any of the groups promoting art and culture in the twentieth century. They were outspoken, multi-ethnic, multi cultural and very liberal in their views. Unfortunately they were condemned by the Catholic Church for being "immoral" (they painted nudes) and they abandoned the group in the late 1930's. They did however, encourage the establishment of the Trinidad Art Society in the early 1940's.

From the Facebook page of Geoffrey MacLean...” Among the artists were Hugh Stollmeyer and Amy Leong Pang, both of whom are not respected in the context of their tremendous contribution to art in Trinidad and Tobago. C.L.R. James was also a member of the group and a contributor to the magazine.”
