Two Centuries of Black American Art

Henry Ossawa Tanner's The Banjo Lesson (1893) was among the works included in the exhibition.

Two Centuries of Black American Art was a 1976 traveling exhibition of African-American art organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).[1] It "received greater visibility and validation from the mainstream art world than any other group exhibition of work by Black artists."[2] According to the Grove Encyclopedia of American Art, the "landmark" exhibition "drew widespread public attention to the contributions to African American artists to American visual culture."[1]
