About this Event

Join us for a FREE docent-led tour of the Kindred Spirit exhibition in the museum Focus Gallery. Kindred Spirit examines the work of William H. Johnson (1901 - 1970), Hocha Krake Johnson (1885 - 1944), and Christoph Voll (1897 - 1939).

Johnson was a man between worlds: raised in the rural South but educated in New York; black, but his unknown father was white; American-born, but lived much of his adult life in Europe. This diverse heritage gave Johnson a unique perspective and insight, but at times it was also a difficult shadow that followed him as he traveled the world searching for his true artistic voice.

Eventually, after many years away from his hometown of Florence, South Carolina, Johnson returned to the United States. Although living in New York, his art began to focus almost entirely on the lives and experiences of African Americans in the rural South.
