at San Francisco Public Library - Virtual Library
(see times)
Following the opening of a major exhibition of Johnson's work at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens, Francis and Smyly will discuss this important artist and his influence on San Francisco and the world. Francis is co-curator of the exhibit and co-editor of its companion book, Sargent Claude Johnson (1888-1967) with Dennis Carr (The Huntington's Virginia Steele Scott, Chief Curator of American Art) and John P. Bowles (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
Johnson's powerful works -- masks, portrait busts, and figural sculptures created in the 1920s and 1930s--have become emblems of the Harlem Renaissance. The exhibition will also include several art pieces by Johnson held by the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society, which has an archive of early San Francisco African American history, life and culture.
