Tanner<\/a> (1859\u20131937). Recognized as the patriarch of African American artists, Tanner forged a path to international success, powerfully influencing younger black artists who came after him. Following a preface by David Driskell, the essays in this book\u2014written by international scholars including Alan Braddock, Michael Leja, Jean-Claude Lesage, Richard Powell, Marc Simpson, Tyler Stovall, and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Valance\u2014explore many facets of Tanner\u2019s life, including his upbringing in post\u2013Civil War Philadelphia, his background as the son of a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and his role as the first major academically trained African American artist. Additional essays discuss Tanner\u2019s expatriate life in France, his depictions of the Holy Land and North Africa, and the scientific and technical innovations reflected in his oeuvre. Edited and introduced by Anna O. Marley, this volume expands our understanding of Tanner\u2019s place in art history, showing that his status as a painter was deeply influenced by his race but not decided by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit University of California Press February 2012 304 pages Paperback ISBN: 9780520270756 Hardback ISBN: 9780520270749 Anna O.
