Winston Kennedy, an artist/scholar, is professor emeritus from Howard University where he taught printmaking, art management and photography for 29 years. He was previously chairman of the Art Department and director of the Gallery of Art. Recently, he served as Chairman of the Art Department and director of the Arthur Rose Museum at Claflin University. As an artist, he has exhibited his prints in galleries and museums in the United States, South America and Europe. He has lectured and written on two noted African American printmakers: James Lesesne Wells and Dox Thrash.
He is a graduate of North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC (BA 1970) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (MFA 1972).
He is currently working on a book-length project that examines the history of African American Printmaking from 1720 to the present. Additionally, he is examining the Image of how the African American Male is portrayed in fine art and popular prints. He has significantly expanded a previous research paper delivered at the African American Diaspora Conference at the University of Paris 7, during the fall of 2000, and subsequently, at the Porter Colloquium in 2004, and at the Black Masculinity Conference at the City College of New York Graduate Center in 2005.
Professor Kennedy is a 2002-2003 Schomburg Scholar at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library. He is conducting primary research on the prints and images of African American Printmakers. The results of his research will lead to the first comprehensive book on African American Printmaking and a traveling exhibition on the same subject.

Wow, I know Howard quite well. I was fortunate to encounter his genius while working for Milwaukee Public Schools. He was Superintendent at the time (his wife succeeded him as the next Superintendent). Howard is a wonderfully inspiring person. Seems like he's ALWAYS been a change agent throughout the course of his life--lol!

Winston,
I appreciate your notes and comments about my work.I did send a reply about the 70s fundraiser for Just Above Midtown Gallery that was held at my studio, but it was returned. I must learn how to use these pages between travels. Your comments about water are fascinating. Although I have lived in mountain areas, I am drawn most to places with "water spirits"

Winston, I love your work. Question: Does the "Howard Fuller" in your photo live in Wisconsin?

Winston, Your BAIA presentation, studio, and artworks really sing with an essence of the low country spirit that extends throughout the Americas. You may be familiar with my earlier more figurative works; examples of which may be seen in the exhibition and book "Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960-1980". Thank you for this friend connection.

I appreciate your words about my book. I am by no means a physics wonder. It was my nephew who has his degree in physics and math that brought this view to my work. We are original people and I believe that we do much of our creations intuitivly and that opens the perameters for invention. I can see this in your work which reflects this inventive nature of creating new vistas. I am proud to know such a scholar as yourself and look forward to a possible review of the book after reading it. Thank you so much for the interest. Peace
