Additional Details

A rare run of these vital prime resource catalogues. The Harmon Foundation was a pioneer in the mentoring of African-American artists through the period of the Great Depression. These slender catalogues provide a visual history of some of America's finest artists, many of whom were all but lost to the general public until the last 25 years. Artists include Sargent Johnson, Archibald Motley, William H. Johnson, Frederick Cornelius Johnson, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Laura Wheeler Waring, Augusta Savage, Malvin Grey Johnson and many more.
