About the Exhibitions
This exhibition examines, for the first time, the achievements of African American modernist William H. Johnson (1901 - 1970)- often considered one of the most inventive artists of his generation- as a graphic artist. 80 works of art on paper provide an overview of the artist's career both in Europe in the 1930s and in New York in the 1940s.
