With Powerful Murals, Hale Woodruff Paved The Way For African-American Artists

Woodruff's figurative style of the 1930s was bold and muscular. Southern lynchings of blacks stirred his conscience deeply, and inspired him to design a series of block prints that were as impressive as his oils and watercolors. His best-known and most widely acclaimed works at this time were the Amistad murals he painted between 1939 and 1940 in the Slavery Library at Talladega College in Alabama. These murals were commissioned in celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the mutiny by African slaves aboard the slave ship Amistad in 1849, their subsequent trial in New Haven, Connecticut, and return to West Africa following acquittal.

Leaving off the knowledge that bright, manic grins are an American staple and don’t represent how people liked to be portrayed throughout the world and history…. This is both interesting and horrifying. I totally recommend giving it a look!
