Exhibit of fine arts : productions of American Negro artists / under auspices of the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches
An exhibition catalogue published in New York in 1928 by the Harmon Foundation, with the Federal Council of Churches' Commission on the Church and Race Relations, presenting fine art by American Black artists to a general public and church audience. Its plates are sepia halftone reproductions of paintings and drawings: a sailing scene with figures on a beach, a balustrade of carved columns, two boys seated on rocks fishing, and a portrait of an older woman in a white collar, with the artist's name and award line printed beneath. A designer could take from them the warm monochrome palette, loose painterly brushwork, and the plain, dignified portrait format.
