About the Item

Elizabeth Peyton Frederick Douglass, 1850, 2023 29-layer silkscreen print on 410gsm Somerset tub-sized radiant white paper hand-signed and numbered by the artist 47.5 x 37.5 cm - sheet Edition of 40 Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) was a prominent American abolitionist, orator, writer, and social reformer who escaped from slavery to become one of the most influential figures in the fight against racial injustice. Renowned for his powerful speeches and writings, Douglass detailed his experiences in his autobiographies, including Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which exposed the brutal realities of slavery. A fierce advocate for equality, he championed the rights of African Americans, women, and other marginalized groups, becoming a leading voice for justice and freedom in the 19th century. Douglass’s legacy endures as a symbol of resilience, eloquence, and the enduring fight for human rights. Elizabeth Peyton is an American contemporary artist celebrated for her intimate and expressive portraits of cultural icons, friends, and historical figures. Born in 1965, Peyton rose to prominence in the 1990s with her small-scale, richly coloured paintings that blend elements of traditional portraiture with modern sensibilities. Her subjects often include musicians, artists, and celebrities, such as David Bowie and Kurt Cobain, as well as personal acquaintances, capturing their essence with a sense of nostalgia and emotional depth. Using oil paints, watercolours, and drawings, Peyton’s work explores themes of beauty, identity, and the fleeting nature of fame and connection. Her unique approach has established her as a significant figure in contemporary art, admired for her ability to fuse the personal with the universal.
