Gwathmey (1903-1988) is one of the most celebrated painter-printmakers of African-American life in the southern United States. As an outsider to the African-American rural communities, his works are that of an observer, picturesque scenes of everyday life captured without sentimentality. He managed unbiasedly to imbue humanity and an unromanticized dignity into his subjects. Williams 10.
