Artist Henry Ossawa Tanner

This article profiles Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859–1937), the pioneering African American artist who achieved international fame in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Pittsburgh to a bishop father and a mother who escaped slavery, Tanner studied under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris to escape racial discrimination. He studied at the Académie Julian, became a mentor to Black artists including Aaron Douglas and Hale Woodruff, and gained renown for his biblical paintings such as "Daniel in the Lions' Den" (1896). Tanner traveled widely—to Egypt, Morocco, and Palestine—and was named a chevalier of the French Legion of Honor in 1927. The article lists numerous works by Tanner held in major collections, including the first painting by an African American artist acquired for the White House Collection.

Artists and Organizations Rally Against Censorship in Open Letter

Hundreds of arts organizations and professionals have signed an open letter denouncing censorship, titled 'Cultural Freedom Demands Collective Courage: A Nation-Wide Statement of Values and Principles for the Field of Arts and Culture.' The statement, issued by the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) and New York’s Vera List Center for Art and Politics, responds to the National Endowment for the Arts terminating over $27 million in grants. This follows President Donald Trump's second term, which has banned diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in federal government, forcing DEI offices at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Institution to close. The White House also published a list of artworks at the Smithsonian it deems to feature 'improper ideology.' The letter aims to rally cultural institutions against increasing pressure on programming decisions.
