Explore three prominent Black American painters over two centuries. Robert Duncanson represents an American landscape painter from the mid 19th century through the American Civil War. In 1879, Henry Ossawa Tanner, was the only Black American artist at the Pennsylvania Academy of Art, becoming a favorite student of Thomas Eakins. By 1891, Tanner emigrated to Paris where he was successful at the Salon and remained in Paris except for occasional visits to the US. Jacob Lawrence represented the Harlem Renaissance of the early 20th century, especially with his Migration Series. Lawrence illustrated everyday life, as well as narratives of African-American history and historical figures. Led by art historian Martha Chiarchiaro, owner of Seeing History.
