Interactive Signed Fine Art Print featuring the “Ghana Dancers” mural, a replica of a John Biggers painting, with the same name.
The mural is part of the
#JohnBiggers murals curated and produced by Street Art for Mankind in Houston.
John Biggers was an African-American artist based in Houston and world-renowned for his social realist murals and symbolic paintings. He was one of the first African American artists to travel to Africa to study different cultural traditions as part of a UNESCO fellowship in 1957. His exposure to various elements of visual arts and culture had a profound effect on his work, leading him to view this trip as the most significant event of his life. This artwork, inspired by his trip with UNESCO, supports inclusive quality education and the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.
This mural features two women dancing, highlighting Biggers’s continued fascination with representing African and African American dance traditions. This painting might depict a community ceremony celebrating the successful harvest of the year’s crops, where dance was a key element. This signature work, with women looking away from the viewer, reflects one of the artist's favorite sayings: “you can tell more about an individual from the back, because too often human beings would wear a mask”.
