Rash of online art competitions: Let the artists beware...

Started by E. Joyce Moore. Last reply by WALTER OLIVER NEAL May 22. 1 Reply

PSA (sort of) There are several seemingly legitimate art competitions circulating on the internet and in social media. In my opinion, these competitions are, at best, poorly executed or, at worst, complete scams held annually. It's always the…Continue

In the western world most people agree that the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci is considered the most recognizable painting by a european artist. My question is, what is the most famous or recognizable painting by a Black Artist? Is it Sugar Shack by Ernie Barnes, an untitled skull  by Jean Michel Basquiat, or The Banjo Lesson by Henry Ossawa Tanner. 

Would Bill Clinton's Presidential Portrait by Simmie Knox be considered well known, and if so, is it a contender. Could a piece by some other living contemporary artist who has a unique style, and has created a painting that is very well known in the Black community be the most famous painting by a Black artist. What's your opinion?  Is there such a painting?
