Title: Consigning the works of Emma Amos - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Emma Amos was born to a middle-class Atlanta family that was active in the Black artistic, literary, and political scenes. Her parents regularly hosted such guests as W.E.B. DuBois and Zora Neale Hurston; these early associations would prove invaluable to Amos’s artistic and philosophical development. At the age of sixteen, Amos enrolled in Antioch College, where she took classes and traveled to major cities including London and New York. Amos graduated from Antioch in 1958 and moved to London, where she secured a degree in etching from the London Central School of Art. After her debut solo show in Atlanta (1959), Amos moved to New York, accepting a teaching position at the Dalton School. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
