Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice is organized by the\nSmithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none”

Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice is organized by the\nSmithsonian American Art Museum.

Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H.

Some say 7 seconds is the most time a viewer will spend looking at a painting. How long does 30 seconds feel like? What about 5 minutes? How does the time we spend looking at something\, influence our observation? \nJoin us for a guided experience & conversation at 2 pm highlighting the art of slow looking and observation with Curator of Education\, Uschi Jeffcoat in the Focus Gallery. We’ll be experiencing the art of Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice. Register using the button below. \nAllow yourself uninterrupted time with a work of art. Use your guide to reflect on your observations either individually\, through journal writing response or with your own learning community.

Johnson Picturing Justice  \nThursday\, February 13\, 2025\n6:00 – 8:00 pm\n111 West Cheves Street\nFlorence\, South Carolina \nDressy Casual \nThis traveling exhibition\, on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, will be on exhibit in the Focus Gallery through August 10\, 2025. \nWilliam H. Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice is organized by the\nSmithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”40px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”31363″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”50%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”31369″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”50%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
