Benny Andrews.
Born in 1930 in Georgia, Andrews defied social expectations by leaving the farm, attending high school, earning a BFA degree, and becoming a renowned painter in an art world still unwelcoming to artists of color. Benson expertly crafts the narrative around original Andrews paintings, notable for their focus on autobiographical elements and experiences of prejudice as well as for the expressionistic stylization of figures.
