Like the carver of the Santo [73.9], or the artisan who built the Tramp Art Shrine [87.4], Oliver Cheatham was an artist who expressed his religious devotion with wood and paint.

While Woodruff did not win the competition, his mural study is a dramatic reminder of the alliance of two of America's most courageous leaders, Lincoln and Douglass, during a period that threatened to destroy the American union. While Douglass never, in reality, met with Lincoln's cabinet, he did meet with Lincoln and repeatedly urged the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Woodruff stressed the significance of Douglass's role by appropriating the historical image engraved by Ritchie and adding an animated Douglass and the colorful American flag.

Since that time Gilliam has gone on to create work in an astounding variety of styles while always remaining true to a fundamental disregard for the boundaries that have traditionally separated painting, sculpture, and architecture. In the early 1990s Gilliam adopted birch plywood as a support surface for his paintings, a practice he continues to the present day. In these works Gilliam achieves an architectural physicality by using overtly sculptural material—wood and its relief properties. The surface of Fishing Well is poured acrylic paint. The images, textures, and suggestion of depth derive from the way the artist pushed and pulled the acrylic paint across the wood surface.

According to Berry’s widow, Fishwife is painted in a style quite different from most of his work. A turbaned Haitian woman lifts an enormous, wide-eyed fish from a wicker basket; the diagonal line of her muscular arm echoes the ramshackle roofline of the building behind her.

The barbed wire and minstrel puppet figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism. Born in Virginia and spending much of his life in New York City, Gwathmey spent two summers in the 1940s working alongside Black tobacco farmers in North Carolina. At a time when Black artists in the American South were rarely granted a platform for self-representation, Gwathmey, as a white artist, was able to depict the oppression he witnessed. [Gallery label text, 2024] In the 1940s, Robert Gwathmey focused his artist’s eye upon the lives of African-American sharecroppers in the South. Non-Fiction shows a common sight on southern farms; older children tended to the young when both parents worked all day in the fields. The barbed wire and minstrel figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism.

Leighton was one of the finest engravers of her time. Born in London, England, she graduated from the Slade School of Art and also attended the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. She learned wood engraving during a revival of the craft and had access to skilled masters. Leighton began her career reproducing prints in several English publications, and simultaneously developed her work during sketching trips to France, Italy and the Balkans. In 1939 she immigrated to the United States, where she exhibited and lectured widely and won numerous commissions. She was most well-known for writing and illustrating over 65 books reflecting on agricultural lifestyle and the contrasts of urban modernization.

A gay African American, he moved to Greenwich Village in the 1940s and was one of the few cultural figures in New York City at the time to circulate in both the uptown and downtown scenes. In 1957 Delaney traveled to Paris for what he thought would be a brief visit and ended up living and painting there the rest of his life. Delaney made this painting, a portrait of jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, while in Paris. It was purchased from Delaney by the actor Billy Dee Williams, when Williams was accompanied to Delaney’s studio by the artist’s best friend, the author James Baldwin. Yellow, the color of sunlight, joy, and spiritual revelation, was Delaney’s favorite color. It was symbolic of his optimism as he struggled against the illnesses of alcoholism and depression that plagued him much of his life, eventually leading to his death in St. Anne’s Hospital for the Insane in Paris.

James was writing the life story of Malcolm X for Columbia Pictures, and wanted me to play Malcolm X. While we were in Paris Jarnes took me to visit one of his rnentors, Beauford Delaney. Delaney was living in a small atelier on the left bank of Paris. The walls of his atelier were covered with paintings, but this palnting in particular caught my eye. I said, "Wow, that''s a beautitul painting. What''s it about?" "lt''s about Charlie Parker. The title is Bird" Delaney responded. It was a recent painting, and what intrigued me is that it was Delaney''s interpretation of Bird, and anyone interested in Jazz at the time knew rvhat was meant by "Bird". As I stood there admiring it Delaney asked rne if I wanted it. It was a lovely gesture. It has been a treasured piece of my art collection since that time. --Billy Dee Williams.", "Images": [ { "ImagePath" : "https://webkiosk.gallerysystems.com/Media/images/2015.9_A1.jpg", "ThumbnailPath" : "https://webkiosk.gallerysystems.com/Media/Thumbnails/2015.9_A1.jpg", "PreviewPath" : "https://webkiosk.gallerysystems.com/Media/Previews/2015.9_A1.jpg", "IIIF_URL": "http://iiif.gallerysystems.com/2015.9_A1.jpg", "IsPrimary" : "1", "_SurrogateID" : "43482", "Image_Type" : "digital image", "Photo_Credit" : "", "Remarks" : "Photo provided by the gallery", "View" : "" } , ] },{ "embark_ID" : 1482, "URL" : "https://webkiosk.gallerysystems.com/Objects-1/info/1482", "Disp_Access_No" : "1975.177", "_AccNumSort1" : "", "Disp_Create_DT" : "1965", "_Disp_Start_Dat" : "1965", "_Disp_End_Date" : "1965", "Disp_Title" : "Dillinger, The Battle at Little Bohemia II", "Alt_Title" : "", "Obj_Title" : "", "Series_Title" : "", "Disp_Maker_1" : "Warrington Colescott", "Sort_Artist" : "Colescott, Warrington", "Disp_Dimen" : "19 1/4 x 27 3/8 in.
