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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877–1968)
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.

6. 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.
