Any #BlackCreatives who can recommend Black Visual Art in the public domain? I’m new to this game but eager to experience more @blkcreatives https://twitter.com/whatisoww/status/1259623745150423040

I’ve got this Wikipedia resource so far https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_visual_artists

I’m about to start just listing what I’m viewing/learning/loving so far, just to have it all in one place

Starting with Bible Quilt by Harriet Powers (1886) https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PowersBibleQuilt_1886.jpg#mw-jump-to-license

Gateway by Henry Ossawa Turner https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_visual_artists#/media/File%3AHenry_Ossawa_Tanner_-_Gateway%2C_Tangier.jpg

Landscape with Sheep, by Robert S. Duncanson - these are BEAUTIFUL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_S._Duncanson

Ok I’ll stop there for now - but this is a fun adventure. So much beautiful work out there, and that list linked at the top of this thread is SO full. The works I’ve shared here are only just the ones I liked from PRE-1920. Ain’t even touched the Harlem Renaissance (yet ).
