By Joseph Holston (born 1944), Jazz, 1990, screenprint, 27 7⁄8 x 20 inches (70.8 x 50.8 cm), © 1990 Joseph Holston. #BlackArt #Blackartist #blackhistory #printmaking
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Holston's subjects are African-Americans, often engaged in the activities of daily life. While his figures are simplified and abstracted, they're imbued with dignity, and their societal identities are recognizable, from business-suited commuter to homemaker.
Underlying their narrative roles, at times competitive with them, is the paint, pulsing at the edge of line's restraint, frequently tactile, just short of becoming an entity of its own. One could cite the influence of the Fauves, Romare Bearden and Jacob Lawrence, who was a mentor — but in the end, Holston's handling of color and composition is consistently and uniquely his own.” ~ by Mary Thomas, “Vivid, subtle works show strong emotion in SAMA exhibits,” The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, May 31, 2006. -
A portrait of “Lead Belly” Ledbetter by Charles White (1918-1979), “Good Night Irene,” 1952, oil on canvas, 47 × 24 inches (119.38 × 60.96 cm), Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO. #art #arthistory #blackart #blackartist #blackartists #BlackHistory
From the gallery label: “Charles Wilbert White created this portrait three years after the legendary musician’s death. He painted Lead Belly in his prime playing a popular late-1800s folk song that he was the first to record in 1933. In addition to celebrating an icon of American music, Goodnight Irene is a key example of White’s socially conscious art. White aimed to affirm the humanity and beauty of African Americans throughout his career. Goodnight Irene highlights the artist’s ability to invest his subjects with steadfast dignity and universal resonance.”

By African/Cuban-American artist Harmony Rosales (born in Chicago, 1984). #oilpainting #painting #BlackArt #blackartist #womanartist #portrait #portraitpainting #portraiture
Her description on her Facebook and Instagram accounts: “I’ve been heads down with a new body of work.
Experimenting with different grounds and allowing parts of the image to remain unfinished.
This painting began with Portrait of a Lady with her Servant (c. 1694–95), and my interest in the liveried servant in European portraiture.
I kept returning to the power of portraiture: how a painting can tell us who was considered worthy of being remembered, while reducing another person to evidence of someone else’s status.
I wanted to disturb that hierarchy.
The figure once positioned as an accessory to the portrait now occupies it entirely and possessing the space around her.
Maybe the question is no longer who she served, but who she might have been when no one else was defining her.”

These were originally meant to go together but I finished the calendar first and wasn't sure if I would finish the desktop version.
The desktop version went thru some color changes and now I'm not sure how well they go together but ahh, I still like them
