The History of Black American Artists

Discover more than 200 years of the history of Black American artists.  Explore the earliest known portraits by Joshua Johnson from before the Civil War.  Robert Duncanson, Edward Bannister, Edmonia Lewis, and Henry Ossawa Tanner are notable Black artists following the Civil War. We’ll examine Black artists from The Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, such as Archibald Motley, Aaron Douglas, and Augusta Savage. Artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Faith Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley also represent the variety of Black artists from the 20th & 21st centuries.
