Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz look up to "Giants" at the High

Dirt bikers in flight with arms outstretched. An otherworldly "soundsuit." Perfectly timed photos of everyday New Yorkers stretching back decades.

Driving the news: The powerful works by Black artists are now on display in "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys," the High Museum of Art's exhibition of groundbreaking, overlooked and, in many cases, oversized works by Black artists.

Zoom in: The exhibition runs through Jan. 19 and includes roughly 115 photos, installations and other media by Gordon Parks, Kehinde Wiley, Esther Malangu and more.

• The private collection numbers more than 1,000, Keys and Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, told CNN's Victor Blackwell.

What they're saying: "Not only the works are oversized," Keys, who attended the exhibition's Friday opening with Beatz, told Blackwell. "But also the creators of the works are giants. They're masters and they're incredible."

• "[The exhibition explores the] idea of accessing your own giant, being unafraid to be as big as possible, take up space in the room. Be present, be powerful, be you."
