william edouard scott -- "a study for 'interruption'" [a mural at the 1940 american negro exposition in chicago] (ca. 1940)

"the major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions. the door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed. or that lovely poem that didn't get written because someone knocked on the door" ... martin luther king jr.

"as a result of the discrimination towards african americans at the 1933 century of progress exposition, james washington, a real estate developer, conceived of the american negro exposition. on july 4, 1940, president franklin delano roosevelt, from his hyde park home, pressed a button to turn on the lights, officially opening the american negro exposition. [...] artist william edouard scott created a series of 24 murals for the event, which took him three months to complete" ... wikipedia

"i ask you, america, is this not signing witness in your soul? who are you to deny me the right to cast my vote in the streets of america in the senate halls of america? who are you to deny the right to speak? i who am myself also america. i who cleared your forests and laid your thoroughfares. who are you to be presumptuous to tell me where to ride, and where to stand, and where to sit? who are you to lynch the flesh of your flesh? who are you to say who shall live and who shall die? who are you to tell me where to eat and where to sleep? who are you america but me' ... margaret walker

"there may be some difficulties, some interruptions, but as a nation and as a people, we are going to build a truly multiracial, democratic society that maybe can emerge as a model for the rest of the world" ... john lewis

"please ... do not pardon these interruptions" ... al janik

February is Black History Month The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society.

Cultural Expressions

Culture shapes lives. It’s in the food people eat, the languages they speak, the art they create, and many other ways they express themselves. These traditions reflect the history and creative spirit of African American and other cultures of the African diaspora. Cultural Expressions is a circular, experiential, introductory space to African American and African diaspora culture.

William Edouard Scott - The lord will provide

[lboogie1906]

William Edouard Scott (March 11, 1884 - May 16, 1964) was an artist. Even before Alain Locke asked African Americans to create and portray the New Negro that would thrust them into the future, artists like him were depicting African American in new ways to break away from the subjugating images of the past. He was well known for his portraits, Haitian scenes, and murals, which challenged the standard depiction of African Americans in art in the first half of the 20th century by utilizing African American subject matter in an uplifting way. He was relatively conservative in his portrayals of Blackness.

He was born in Indianapolis. After graduating from Manual Training High School, he spent a year studying drawing under Otto Stark. He moved to Chicago and attended the School of the Art Institute, where he won the Frederick Mangus Brand Prize for pictorial composition. During his time in Chicago, he painted murals around the city, one of which was Commerce, which is still lauded today as “remarkable”. He learned much of his palette and impressionist technique, however, during his travels to France. While abroad he studied at Académie Julien and Académie Colarossi and was mentored by Henry O. Tanner, a famous African-American artist who moved to Paris to avoid racial prejudice against his art. Training in Paris, he was able to build a reputation for himself more easily than his race would have allowed in America. Perhaps because of this, he seemed to be more conservative in his portrayals of the “New Negro” than others in the movement and sometimes painted scenes that had nothing to do with race at all. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
