Actor, dancer, musician, director, choreographer, and artist, Geoffrey Holder (1930–2014) was a Trinidadian-American Renaissance man. Larger than life at six-foot-six, he did everything with a magisterial flourish and a voice as rich as Venetian velvet. And he was dead serious about his art. Born in 1930 in Port of Spain, Trinidad, Holder moved to New York City in 1954, urged to come by the choreographer Agnes de Mille, who saw him dance in St. Thomas. After studying with Katharine Dunham, he joined the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, and then began starring on Broadway in musicals and plays, and in movies. A Tony winner for both the direction and the costume design of The Wiz (1975), Holder also choreographed dances for Alvin Ailey’s company and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Meanwhile, he was always painting. This exhibition in North Miami sets out to answer the question: How do you reintroduce the legacy of someone who is already so well known? Working in collaboration with Holder’s son Léo Holder, the curator Erica Moiah James has put together a show of 60 never-before-seen paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptures. They do not move chronologically but thematically, revealing the artist’s inspirations along the way. —Laura Jacobs
