Annie Lee Ross

Annie Lee Ross (1909-1978) was an American artist known for her bold, black and white woodcuts. Her works often depict African American life and culture, as seen in her print "Singing Casual," which features a man playing a banjo while surrounded by other figures. The use of strong lines and contrasting colors creates a striking visual impact, capturing the rhythm and energy of the music. Ross's art is a powerful testament to the beauty and resilience of African American heritage.
