This item is a preparatory work for the oil painting by Grigsby also titled “The Family.”
Art professor, fine artist, and high school art teacher, Jefferson Eugene Grigsby, Jr. (1918-2013) in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1933, Grigsby attended Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. Within a year, Grigsby transferred to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he first met his long time mentor, Hale Woodruff. Grigsby graduated from Morehouse College in 1938, with B.A. degree and because of Woodruff, he was equipped with extensive artistic experience that he would retain throughout his life.
Grigsby went on to obtain his M.A. degree in art (1940) from Ohio State University and his Ph.D. degree from New York University (1963). In 1942, Grigsby volunteered to serve in World War II and became a master sergeant of the 573rd Ordinance Ammunition Company under U.S. Army General George Patton during the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1946, Grigsby worked at Carver High School, the school in Phoenix, Arizona for black students, as an art teacher. When the school closed in 1954, Grigsby began working at Phoenix Union High School where he remained until 1966.
At that time, Grigsby began teaching at the university level, working at the School of Art at Arizona State University until 1988. During this time, Grigsby published Art and Ethics: Background for Teaching Youth in a Pluralistic Society, the first book ever written for art teachers by an African American artist and author.
Grigsby was awarded numerous times for his outstanding work, including the Arizona Governor’s “Tostenrud” Art Award and the NAACP’s Man of the Year Award. He passed
away in Phoenix, Arizona in 2013.
