By CHERYL HARRY
Li
the fields of art, literature and
music according to Samella
Lewis/author of Art: African
American. Black artists emerged
with a renewed strength and
determination kfter seeing
Blacks-portrayed as serious stud
ies by established white artists
and not in stereotypical roles.
Black artists began to depict the
life of their people with a vigor
that would impact American art
for years to come.
Malvin Gray Johnson, a
Dr . J. Eugene Grigsby , Jr.
native of Greensboro, is said by
Lewis to be one of the most far
reaching and versatile artist of
his period. Johnson used a com
bination of Impressionist and
Cubist art styles to create
expressions of Black life. His
illustrations were based on spiri
tuals. "The Elks" is an example
of his style derived from
Cubism. Johnson died at the age
of thirty -eight (1896-1934), the
point in his career when he was
becoming a "sensitive communi
cator of Black images."
Palmer Hayden's first for
mal art training was through a
correspondence school he
enrolled in while in the armed
forces during World War I. Fol
lowing, Hayden studied with
accomplished artists. He
received a grant of $3,000* to
study abroad. It was in France
that he became interested- in
Black subject matter and where
he did his first painting of
Blacks. He is most noted for his
series of paintings about John
Henry, a Black folk hero. Hay
den was bom in 1893 and died
in 1973.
mc n
Palmer Hay den's " Fetich* et Fkurs" is his response to a return to the
ancestral arts. ?

Hale Woodruff is widely
known for his mural work in the
libraries of Atlanta University
and Talladega College. "The
Amistad Murals" in Talladega's
Slavery Library, portraying three
stages of the Amistad revolt are
said by Lewis to reflect the
influence of Mexican muralists
on Black artists. After receiving
an award to study in Paris for
four years, Woodruff returned to
the United States and became an
art instructor at Atlanta Univer
sity. In his later work, he tended
more toward Abstract Expres
sionism.
Dr. Grigsby has had a long
and enduring career as an artist
and art educator. Simona Allen,
director of Delta Arts Center,
characterizes Grigsby as a per
son who has concern for people
and their worth and his search
for a better understanding of self
and for heritage is carried
through in his work. Dr. Grigs
by's writings on the subject of
art education include his book,
"Art & Ethnics." He has been
recognized for his special efforts
in increasing awareness of
African and African American
art.
