MWW Artwork of the Day (2/15/23) Sargent Claude Johnson (African-American, 1887-1967) Untitled (c. 1940) Terra cotta statue, 25.7 x 7.6 x 6.3 cm.) Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC
Sargent Johnson created many pieces throughout his career that explored the theme of mother and child. In this piece, Johnson used simplified forms to emphasize the strong and imposing silhouette of the figures, despite their small size. A shape resembling an angel has been cut into the surface of the terra-cotta, reaching upward and perhaps offering protection to the child.
More of this artist's work appears in this MWW exhibit/gallery: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.343798162392226&type=3

SINGING SAINTS, Sargent Claude Johnson, 1940

Sargent Claude Johnson is hard to categorize. He worked with so many mediums. Oil, stone, clay, watercolor... and more. He is probably best known for his ceramic and sculpture works, his masks and figures in the round. The third of 6 children, he was a mixed race man. His father of Swedish ancestry and his mother of Black-Indigenous ancestry. Both of his parents would die before he was an adult. He and his siblings would move to live with their aunt and uncle in Washington DC. His aunt, May Howard Jackson, was a skilled sculptor working largely in portraiture and a prominent figure in DC's black intellectual culture. Her work must have influenced and inspired Sargent. But, he was not there long. His brothers and himself were sent to an Orphanage while his sisters went to a Catholic School for racialized peoples. What happened between then and the beginning of his career as an artist, isn't known. What is known, is in 1915, he moved to the Bay Area, married and began attending the A.W. Best school of Art, all in the same year. He would also attend the San Francisco Art Institute then called the California School of Fine Art. His first show was with the Harmon Foundation, and he was met with success, even winning the $150 prize for the best work. But he would win many more awards garnering national attention. At this time, he was primarily showing his ceramics works. In the 1930's he hit his creative stride. He began to push the stylization in his work even further and began to explore other mediums including wood, copper, etchings, drawings, terra cotta, and porcelain. He also received several large commissions from the WPA Federal Art Project. One an 18 by 24 foot carved relief organ screen, the other the interior of the Maritime Museum and Aquatic Park in San Francisco. For the Golden Gate International Exposition (1939) he completed two massive 8 foot cast stone sculptures of Incas riding atop llamas. He did many more projects, his animal series, cast in terrazzo and his other large works for exhibition. Toward the end of his life, his works became very abstract. Yet, they always retained his signature simplicity. He separated from his wife in 1936, their daughter also going to live with her. But despite their separation, they remained on good terms until her death. His work, always heavily influenced by his wife and daughter. Sargent has suffered from angina, and settled in a hotel in downtown San Francisco in 1965. He would die there of a heart attack in 1967. Sargent Johnson was an artist that never stopped exploring his work, truly embodying the craft as having no peak. His work was inspired by many different artists and styles, blended through him into something truly unique and special.

Sargent Claude Johnson was a ceramicist, painter, and lithographer based out of North Beach, San Francisco in the 1930s. Johnson, who was of Black and Cherokee heritage, is remembered for his soul-stirring sculptures and his commitment to creating self-affirming images of Black people. This graceful terracotta figure shows the influence of the Harlem Renaissance and the call for the celebration and integration of African ancestral traditions as expressed by Alain Locke. Johnson said he was “aiming to show the natural beauty and dignity” of African Americans, not to a white audience, but to themselves."
From 1937 to 1939 Johnson worked for the WPA/FAP (The Works Progress Administration/ Federal Art Project) which created work relief for artists during the Great Depression. He created large-scale artworks for the WPA such as the decorated interior of the San Francisco Maritime Museum, among others, some of which can still be seen today.
Like many artists in the Bay Area art scene, Johnson and his contemporaries drew inspiration from non-European art such Indigenous arts of the Americas and the Pacific, in addition to African art. They also looked to artists such as  Diego Rivera, whose figurative techniques and illustration of social issues spoke to new ways of expressing the Black experience.
Are you familiar with any artworks created by other Black artists for the WPA? Let us know in the replies!
In honor of Black History Month, and in conjunction with the exhibition John Edmonds: A Sidelong Glance, we are highlighting contemporary artists in our collection whose work speaks to the complexity and beauty of Black American heritage.

Head of a Black Woman, Sargent Claude Johnson, 1935, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art
In Head of a Black Woman, Sargent Claude Johnson combined abstract elements drawn from African sculpture and masks—such as the regularly scored marks that describe hair—with a naturalistic portrayal of the woman’s physiognomy. In the 1920s and 1930s, writer and philosopher Alain Locke urged artists to seek aesthetic inspiration from African art, and Johnson frequently followed this advice. Here, by subtly stylizing the woman’s appearance, Johnson made this delicate terracotta sculpture highly individual yet also timeless and universal. Laura T. Magnuson Endowment Size: 20.6 × 10.5 × 13.3 cm (8 1/8 × 4 1/8 × 5 1/4 in.) (sculpture) 7.9 × 10.8 × 10.2 cm (3 1/8 × 4 1/4 × 4 in.) (base) Medium: Terracotta

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/19/20) Sargent Claude Johnson (African-American, 1887-1967) Mask (c. 1930-35) Copper on wood base, 39.4 x 34.3 x 15.3 cm. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC (Gift of the IBM Corp.)
Johnson was one of the first African-American artists working in California to achieve a national reputation. He was known for Abstract Figurative and Early Modern styles. He was a painter, potter, ceramist, printmaker, graphic artist, sculptor, and carver. He worked with a variety of media, including ceramic, clay, oil, stone, terra-cotta, watercolor, and wood. He was in the Communist Party for most of his life.  As a member of the bohemian San Francisco Bay community and influenced by the New Negro Movement, Johnson's early work focused on racial identity. According to Johnson, "Negroes are a colorful race; they call for an art as colorful as they can be made."  Beginning in 1945, and continuing through 1965, Johnson made a number of trips to Oaxaca and Southern Mexico and started incorporating the people and culture, particularly archeology, into his work. Other subjects included African American figures, animals, and Native Americans.  (Wikipedia bio)

It's 2020, which means that the Harlem Renaissance, at the time known as the New Negro Movement, started approximately one hundred years ago. This is one of my favorite historical periods.
In the decades after slavery ended, life in the southern USA continued to be difficult for African Americans. Many chose to leave the sharecropping jobs in which white landowners were still exploiting their labor, and began to migrate north on huge numbers.
Literature, music, fashion, and art exploded in African American culture as a result of this move out of the stagnant South. Black owned businesses and publications as Black people used art to advocate for equality and show White Americans that they were human too- capable of producing beautiful novels, paintings, and music just as White people did.
Some famous authors who were active during this period include my favorite poet, Langston Hughes, as well as Zora Neale Huston and Claude McKay. Marcus Garvey was leading the Back to Africa movement and W.E.B. Du Bois worked to highlight the African Americans who had obtained college degrees and owned property. Josephine Baker and Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson were two of the most prominent entertainers of the day. Louis Armstrong, Gladys Bentley, Cab Calloway, Billie Holliday, Lena Horne, and Dorothy Dandridge were just a few notable musicians. Romare Bearden, Sargent Johnson, and Lois Mailou Jones were visual artists who became well-known.

'Bird,' Rico Gatson's 2015 work on paper, is reproduced from 'Black American Portraits,' published by @delmonico_books and @lacma ⁠ ⁠ Spanning over two centuries from around 1800 to the present day, 'Black American Portraits' chronicles the ways in which Black Americans have used portraiture to envision themselves in their own eyes. Remembering 'Two Centuries of Black American Art,' curated by David C. Driskell at LACMA 45 years ago, this book is a companion to the exhibition of the same name that reframes portraiture to center Black American subjects, sitters and spaces. This selection of approximately 140 works from LACMA’s permanent collection highlights emancipation, scenes from the Harlem Renaissance, portraits from the Civil Rights and Black Power eras, multiculturalism of the 1990s and the spirit of Black Lives Matter.⁠ ⁠ Artists include: Alvin Baltrop, Edward Biberman, Bisa Butler, Jordan Casteel, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Bruce Davidson, Stan Douglas, rafa esparza, Shepard Fairey, Charles Gaines, Sargent Claude Johnson, Deana Lawson, Kerry James Marshall, Alice Neel, Lorraine O'Grady, Catherine Opie, Amy Sherald, Ming Smith, Henry Taylor, Tourmaline, Mickalene Thomas, James Van Der Zee, Carrie Mae Weems, Charles White, Kehinde Wiley and Deborah Willis.⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Christine Y.
