In 1982, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was commissioned to make eight paintings to accompany John Hersey’s devastating book Hiroshima first published in 1946 shortly after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city. The paintings are at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, but the Limited Editions Club book, which has eight original silkscreens printed in eleven colors, signed by Hersey and Lawrence (and Robert Penn Warren who wrote a poem for this edition), is in our special collections.

🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon MOOD... ⁠ 'A Day in the Life of a Black Woman Artist #1,' 1975.⁠ #Artist Dindga McCannon @dindga Acrylic and collage on canvas, 33h x 48w in Image reposted from @FridmanGallery⁠ . . . . www.fridmangallery.com "Born in New York City and raised in Harlem and the Bronx, Dindga came of age as an artist and young mother during the rise of feminist art in New York City and the civil rights movement across the nation. Dindga began her career studying under #HarlemRenaissance artists such as #JacobLawrence, #CharlesAlston, #RichardMayhew, and #AlLoving at the Art Students League of New York and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. She went on to become a pillar of the influential African-American art collective Weusi, and later a co-founder of #WhereWeAtBlackWomenArtists, a noteworthy collective affiliated with the #BlackArtsMovement. Throughout Dindga’s career, she created space for her own artistic exploration while building a support network for generations of Black artists to follow.   McCannon’s use of oil painting, printmaking, and sewing made her an early influencer of textile assemblage, found-object quilting, and wearable art, all of which expand upon the legacy of African and African-American culture and historical memory, and are artforms that have gained new energy across today’s arts and cultural landscape. McCannon’s implementation of non-traditional materials, including personal objects, photographs, and ephemera draw the viewer into her world as she imbues her canvases and tapestries with the sounds, feelings, and vibrancy of her community and ancestors. Her works often focus on the history and stories of women — iconic public figures, unknown heroines, family, and friends who shape her vibrant universe." ⁠ #SelfPortrait #DindgaMcCannon #FridmanGallery #BlackWomen #BlackArtists #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/trascapades/p/CYS2lJ7AHnx/?utm_medium=tumblr
