In celebration of Black History Month, art historian Jeff Mishur presents 'An Uncommon Journey,' highlighting a selection of African American artists of the twentieth century. Jeff will discuss works by Henry Ossawa Tanner, Aaron Douglass, Walter Ellison, Archibald Motley Jr., Jacob Lawrence, and Faith Ringgold among others.

Several styles practiced by African American artists will be discussed within the context of major European and American art movements including the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural movement occurring in the United States between the World Wars.

Jeff Mishur is co-owner of Art Excursions, who provide private guiding in Chicago, lectures and cultural tours. A popular speaker about art historical and travel topics, Mishur has his M.A. in Art History from Northern Illinois University and has taught at the university level for many years.
