Ernest Crichlow Art

NEW DREAMS is an original limited edition lithograph by the Harlem Renaissance, African-American artist ERNEST CRICHLOW (1914-2005). Printed from hand drawn plates using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper 100% acid free. NEW DREAMS presents a poignant, realistic portrait of a young black girl, profile view, combed back flip hairstyle, wearing a light peach puff sleeve dress as she pensively gazes forward(toward the future?), a historic rural scene from the past transpires behind her shown as an older black woman dressed in a white blouse, head wrap, and long dark skirt bending forward as she works in the field. NEW DREAMS is a fine social-realist style portrait expressed in an appealing warm color palette with ivory cream as the background. Sepia brown is used for the main drawing, the tree at center is accented with delicate light green and soft coral red leaves; a railed fence in front of a band of light olive green forms a grassy division between the present and past.

The Artists Guild was supported by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided employment for many artists during the Depression. For Crichlow, the WPA was essential to the formation of many careers of African-American artists. He said that the WPA was "the greatest stimulant the American art scene had ever had. It meant something to be an artist then. The WPA was our haven and offered us a real entrée into what was happening. We had a lot of hope . . . Before that, very few of us had anything resembling a real art education." Crichlow was always a strong advocate for black artists. In 1969, he, Romare Bearden, and Norman Lewis...
