"Girl in a Green Cap" by Laura Wheeler Waring (American) - Oil on canvas / 1930 - Howard University Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) #WomenInArt #LauraWheelerWaring #art #artText #Waring #BlackModernism #AfricanAmericanArt #WomenArtists #AmericanArt #HowardUniversity #WomanArtist #HarlemRenaissance

Painted at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, this portrait captures American artist Laura Wheeler Waring’s passion for dignified Black representation. The sitter’s name is unrecorded, but Waring refuses anonymity of type with the a fashionable cap, jewelry, and tailored layers that announce a modern woman who chooses how to be seen.

A poised young Black woman sits three-quarter length against a gray-green wall brushed with lively diagonals. Her medium-brown skin is modeled by cool, even light. Her mouth carries a quiet vermilion and her eyes half-lidded are observant. A mint-green cap frames her slicked-back hair and echoes polished studs in her ears and a chunky bead necklace. She wears a sheer white blouse over a dark dress with "blooming" gauzy sleeves at the shoulders that catch pearly highlights, while the black bodice anchors the composition like a strong vertical. Her left forearm crosses the knee. A gold ring glinting, her right hand drops toward the seat’s edge. Broad, confident strokes leave ridges of paint visible, especially in the background’s leaf-like marks. The pose, slightly angled and unapologetically frontal, asserts self-possession rather than flirtation. No props or narrative setting disctracts us from the young woman's style, presence.

Waring trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) and, supported by the Harmon Foundation, studied in Paris in the 1920s, absorbing Impressionist color and a direct, modern brush. She spent her career teaching at Cheyney (the nation’s oldest HBCU), where she mentored young artists while exhibiting widely; commissions and exhibitions brought her portraits of writers, educators, and community leaders to national attention. In the early 1930s, she refined a language that fused academic draftsmanship with painterly economy which we see here in confident edges, restrained palette, and psychological immediacy.

You likely won't find a story like this in the news b/c it supports #DEI and #education A wonderful way to honor an incredible actor & person. May Chadwick Boseman rest in peace😢🙏 More higher education should fight back against 47's anti-DEI policy #HowardUniversity #FineArts #College #University

Howard University renamed its College of Fine Arts to Chadwick Boseman College of Fine Arts.

Kamala Harris hoped to declare victory at Howard University on election night. That didn’t happen. So many students at one of America’s top Black universities are turning to the question: “Where do we go from here?” Harris #HowardUniversity #politics
