Celebration and Vision:
The Hewitt Collection of
African-American Art
Howard University
Gallery of Art
Childers Hall
August 13 - October 15, 2000
The
Hewitt Collection of African-American Art is regarded as one of the
most important and comprehensive collections of art produced by
artists of color during this century. The 55 works of art by 20
artists stand as a testament to the passion of the collectors, John
and Vivian Hewitt, their close interaction with many of the artists,
and their dedication and vision. This exhibit also celebrates the
sense of community that has been central to the history of
African-American culture.
The
national tour of the Hewitt Collection is sponsored by the Bank of
America Foundation.
