AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BLACK HISTORY – VOLUME 10
100 Black Painters Who Changed the World
By LeRoy H. Carter Jr.
Across centuries and continents, Black painters have shaped the visual language of the modern world — yet their names have too often been omitted from traditional art histories.
This landmark volume restores rightful recognition.
From nineteenth-century pioneer Robert S. Duncanson to Harlem Renaissance visionary Aaron Douglas…
From African modernists such as Ben Enwonwu and Ibrahim El-Salahi to contemporary masters including Kerry James Marshall, Kehinde Wiley, and Amy Sherald…
From the Caribbean diaspora to Afro-Brazilian innovators…
This book documents one hundred painters whose work redefined art, identity, and historical memory.
More than an art reference, this encyclopedia is a global archive. Each entry provides scholarly depth, cultural context, and historical significance, presenting Black painters not as marginal contributors—but as architects of artistic transformation.
This volume also honors legacy.
Featuring Bill Dandridge, Dane Tilghman, and culminating with Lee Carter—Negro League athlete, founder of The Road to Freedom Museum, and painter of over 300 historical works—this book affirms that art is not only institutional, but generational.
Painting is testimony.
Color is memory.
The canvas is history.
Whether you are an educator, student, artist, historian, or cultural advocate, this volume will inform, inspire, and challenge you to see the world—and its art—more truthfully.
Part of the growing Encyclopedia of Black History series, Volume 10 stands as both scholarship and tribute.
To God be the glory.
