Gullah Spirit : The Art of Jonathan Green, Hardback Book

Gullah Spirit : The Art of Jonathan Green Hardback

Hardback

Description

Jonathan Green is best known for his vibrant depictions of Gullah culture and life.

For decades, his vividly colored paintings and prints have captured and preserved the daily rituals and Gullah traditions of his childhood in the Lowcountry marshes of South Carolina. While Green's art continues to capture the same energy, color, and deep respect for his ancestors, his techniques have evolved to feature bolder brush strokes and a use of depth and texture, all guided by his maturing artistic vision that is more about experiencing freedom and contentment through his art.

This vision is reflected in the 180 new paintings featured in Gullah Spirit.

His open and inviting images beckon the world to not only see this vanishing culture but also to embrace its truth and enduring spirit. Angela D. Mack, executive director of the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, South Carolina, provides a foreword.

The book also includes short essays by historian Walter B.

Edgar, educator Kim Cliett Long, and curator Kevin Grogan.
