Man with Brush, 1940

Frederick C. Flemister

American, 1917–1976

Oil on canvas

Clark Atlanta University Art MuseumAtlanta artist Frederick Flemister quotes from Renaissance portrait conventions in this self-portrait. The young, African American artist takes a seat where other great artists had before him. He sits purposefully, gazing directly toward the viewer; an idealized landscape stretches out behind him. As if to challenge stereotypes, Flemister makes no reference to the cotton fields and sharecroppers’ shacks that populated the Southern landscape. Brush at the ready and loaded with paint, the artist confronts the empty canvas before him, his story yet to be painted.
