Chance encounters with neighbors passing on the street, on their way to church or going about daily routines. Dox Thrash celebrated the strength and beauty of African Americans at a time when most of the world did not. Born in rural Georgia, Thrash left as a teenager and traveled north looking for work. He held various jobs, studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, was injured by a gas attack in World War I, was denied work at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and came to thrive as an artist with support from the Works Progress Administration. In 1937, he developed an innovative printmaking technique known today as carborundum mezzotint. Thrash originally called it the “Opheliagraph” after his late mother. Using this process, he was able to capture stunning, sensitive portraits in a broad tonal range that demonstrated the complexities found in everyday black life.
