Brothers — Malvin Gray Johnson
Brothers — Malvin Gray Johnson
Two brothers share a bench in matching blue overalls and white shirts — one in a straw hat, one in a bib cap — meeting your eyes from a tilting Virginia landscape. A landmark of the Harlem Renaissance, now reproduced on gallery-grade canvas.
About the work
Artist: Malvin Gray Johnson (American, 1896–1934)
Two brothers sharing a wooden bench. Their blue overalls and white shirts are almost identical; one boy wears a straw hat, the other a bib cap. The slanting landscape makes the viewer feel as off balance as the boy on the right; it also places the viewer on a slightly higher level than the two boys, but it does not prevent them from meeting our eyes. Noted for their “sardonic humor and mystical pathos,” Johnson's Brightwood, Virginia, paintings are recognized as some of his finest works.
