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.

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.

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.
