“Twins Of Morning” by John Biggers

20 x 26 inches, lithograph, limited edition 30 of 30, 1975– framed

John Thomas Biggers(1924-2001) was one of the most significant African American artists of the twentieth century. He was known for his murals, but also for his drawings, paintings, and lithographs, and was honored by a major traveling retrospective exhibition from 1995 to 1997. He created archetypal imagery that spoke positively to the rich and varied ethnic heritage of African Americans, long before the Civil Rights era drew attention to their African cultural roots.
