Black Fine Artists

Andy Warhol, Vincent van Gogh, Barbara Hepworth, and Leonardo da Vinci are all names that come to mind when we think about artists. Is there a common thread running through this group of artists? None of them are African-American. Black visual artists have been brushed beneath the radar and kept invisible for far too long. Black Fine Artists have been mainly erased, disregarded, and forgotten throughout history.

  2. About Black Fine Artists Andy Warhol, Vincent van Gogh, Barbara Hepworth, and Leonardo da Vinci are all names that come to mind when we think about artists. Is there a common thread running through this group of artists? None of them are African-American. Black visual artists have been brushed beneath the radar and kept invisible for far too long. Black Fine Artists have been mainly erased, disregarded, and forgotten throughout history.

  3. Modern Black Fine Artists Modern Black Fine Artists in the 19th and 20th centuries abandoned tradition in order to combat racism and inequity with strong artworks. Let's meet some of the most influential people.

  4. Robert Seldon Duncanson (1821 – 1872) Duncanson was a self-taught landscape painter who was of European and African origin. He was born in 1821 and was well-known for his self-taught landscape paintings. He created his first dateable piece in 1841, an incredible twenty-four years before slavery was abolished in the United States.

  5. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877–1968) Fuller, who was born in 1877, was at the forefront of the Harlem Renaissance. She was a poet, painter, and sculpture who embraced a horror-based style by depicting racial injustice in her artwork. Her painted sculpture depicting Mary Turner's lynching is perhaps her most well-known work because of its connection to the tragedy and bloodshed of racial injustice.

  6. Edmonia Lewis (1844 – 1907) Lewis deserves praise for doing the almost impossible: she rose to prominence in the United States during the American Civil War. She also became the first and only black woman to be recognised in the American creative mainstream. Given that she was born in 1844, twenty-one years before slavery was abolished, these accomplishments are extremely remarkable. The lives of abolitionists and Civil War veterans inspired Lewis.
