content: Dox Thrash (1893-1965), an African American printmaker, prepared this lithograph, entitled “Ebony Joe” during his period of work for the Federal Art Project, between 1936 and 1939. A versatile artist, Thrash used lithography, relief, and intaglio processes including the carborundum mezzotint process which he is credited with having invented with his FAP colleagues Michael Gallagher and Hubert Mesibov. Thrash's realistic depiction of African American life in the 20th century illustrates his personal view of and pride in his own life and community.
