While there are Black history artists who focus specifically on events and people of the past, this is not the only genre of art produced by Black painters. In fact, there is no limit to the scope or range of subjects and topics in their artworks. Yet, it is the works that leave an impression of a lifestyle and world that we would not have been able to see without their creation, that leave viewers with a desire to see and experience more. African American culture and art are vibrant, colorful, and lively - just like its people.
