EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Tenements, c. 1933" captures a poignant glimpse into the housing conditions of families during the Great Migration era in America. Painted by Malvin Gray Johnson, this oil on canvas artwork measures 40.01x34.93 cm and is housed at the Amistad Research Center in New Orleans. In this evocative piece, Johnson skillfully portrays row housing with vibrant colors that bring life to an otherwise bleak subject matter. The tenements depicted symbolize the struggles and challenges faced by African American families who migrated from rural areas to urban centers seeking better opportunities. The artist's use of color adds depth and emotion to the scene, highlighting both the resilience and hardships experienced by these communities. Through his brushstrokes, Johnson invites viewers to contemplate not only the physical structures but also the lives lived within them. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of a significant period in American history when countless individuals sought refuge and hope amidst difficult circumstances. It stands as a testament to their strength and determination while shedding light on issues of housing inequality that persist today. Courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our collective past while inspiring conversations about social justice and equality for all members of society.
