Toni Morrison, The Pieces I Am
"Art of the Title" has selected the main title sequence from Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am as one of the top 10 title sequences of 2019.
The sequence features the hands of Brooklyn-based Mickalene Thomas, assembling a collage from pieces of portraits of Toni Morrison by director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. The assembling is joined by Declan Zimmermann and Perpetural Motion Graphics credit design.
