All Gods Chilluns got Shoes
1946
Color lithograph
9 ¾” x 13” plate
The exquisite use of bright red and yellow bring this print to life. The signed and dated color proofs which follow are a rare survival from any artist’s studio, let alone a print that was honored by the American Color Print Society. The journey from a concept to a finished work of art is as thought provoking as the therapeutic values of this work, as the community experienced healing from the scar of slavery through this interactive process of honoring their ancestors and their religious beliefs.
