Painting

Benny Andrews was an American painter and printmaker known for figurative work addressing social injustice and the African American experience. Working primarily in oil, acrylic, and collage throughout the postwar period, Andrews developed a gestural style that combined expressionist mark-making with direct representation of working-class subjects and protest imagery. He was active in civil rights advocacy and maintained a studio practice spanning nearly five decades until his death in 2006.
