Join Huntington curators Lauren Cross and Dennis Carr on an exploration of the renowned California Black Renaissance artist Sargent Claude Johnson. 

Johnson (1888–1967) was the first Black Modernist artist from the West Coast to gain national acclaim. He made a national impact as part of the Harlem Renaissance (also called the Black Renaissance), even though he lived in California’s Bay Area and not in the movement’s center of Harlem in New York City. 

His artistic work stands out due to his skill with multiple mediums and his embrace of Black identity at a time when many popular depictions of Black people were racist. Besides his work as an artist, he was a passionate and dedicated teacher who believed creativity was an essential civic value.
