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.

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.

Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (18771968)

• 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.

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.
