Robert Gwathmey
1903 - 1988

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Robert Gwathmey became an
artist known for his Social Realist depictions of life
in the rural South. He was one of the first white artists
to create dignified images of African-American people and
did so in a style that was modernist with many geometric
forms and bold colororation. He spent most of his forty-five
year career in New York City, but frequently returned to
the South where he became concerned about the problems
dividing blacks and whites.
