| A Harlem-Renaissance painter focused on social injustices before the
successes of the civil rights movement, Ernest Crichlow had his studio
and home in Brooklyn, New York, his birthplace. Many of his
paintings became highly controversial such as Lovers (1938), which depicted a Ku Klux Klan member raping a black woman, and The Flag,
a scene with an American flag behind a black woman on a cross. He
was criticized for focusing too much attention on serious
African-Am (showing 500 of 1883 characters). |
