Abstract
-
The Muses symbolize the involuntary marriage of African and European cultures and the evolution of the African artist in the Western hemisphere. Seventeen legendary black artists characterize Woodruff’s notions of a cultural amalgamation including Iqueigha, 13th Century sculptor, Joshua Johnston, a colonial portraitist and a host of 19th and 20th Century artists, such as Henry O. Tanner, Edward M. Bannister, Jacob Lawrence, Richmond Barthe, and Charles Alston.
