Curated from the extensive collection of Harmon and Harriet Kelley, this exhibition highlights seventy works on paper by African American artists spanning the 20th century and beyond. From the first documented professional graphic artist on the west coast, Grafton Tyler Brown, to contemporary printmakers like Margo Humphrey, the exhibition celebrates African American artists and their tremendous contribution to American art and culture. Drawings, etchings, watercolors, pastels, and color screen prints chronicle the lives of Black Americans through scenes of family and community, urban and rural workers, poverty and success, cultural pride and political turmoil. This exhibition was organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.
