Book Overview
The Walter O. Evans Foundation for Art and Literature was formed in 1997; however, the concept originated in the late 1970s when Evans began collecting African American art and literature for the initial purpose of educating his children with the kinds of art and materials not available in the nation's public institutions. The group's traveling exhibition consists of approximately 85 works of original African American art and has toured continuously since February 1991. African American Masters features a diverse selection of works from the exhibition, highlighting such acclaimed artists as Sargent Claude Johnson, Lois Mailou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Archibald Motley, and Romare Bearden.
