Summary
This book takes a new look at the life and artistic career of Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1937), the renowned African-American artist who spent most of his life in France after declaring in 1891 that he could 'not fight prejudice and paint at the same time.' Tanner is best known for his biblical allegories and genre scenes in which he confronted the plight of underprivileged people
