Condition generally good, some with light soil, creasing, all curved from storage in tube.Margaret Taylor Goss Burroughs was an African American writer, educator, and artist. She was a co-founder of the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago, the first museum of African American history and culture, and helped to establish Chicago's South Side Community Art Center. During her lifetime she received acclaim for her writing and the exposition of her work, as well as for her efforts to promote Black cultural identity and artists. Though Burroughs explored various media, she is perhaps best known as a printmaker. Her prints, which were typically linoleum block prints on paper, often depicted traditional African and African American figures. Among her mentors were Leopold Mendez, under whom she studied printmaking and art at the Institute of Painting and Sculpture in Mexico City. Burroughs herself became a mentor to artists of color, including Ramon B. Price whom she taught at DuSable High School. Price would go on to serve as curator at Burrough's DuSable Museum. This lot is located in Cincinnati.
