Saluting African American Artists

African American art's early origins began in the slave communities established from the 1600s to the 1800s. The artists created small drums, quilts, wrought iron figures and ceramic vessels.

With a West and Central African flavour, the similarities were brought over from the African continent and flowered in their new home. Gradually, and with the advent of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920's, African American art began to take on its own shape and style.

Many artists, from the Highwaymen, who are part of American folk history, to contemporary African American artist Kara Walker, all pay tribute to the heritage of the ancestors.
