JOHN BIGGERS (1924 - 2001) Birmingham…Children of the Morning.

Item Details

Description

JOHN BIGGERS (1924 - 2001)
Birmingham…Children of the Morning.

Linoleum cut on cream wove paper, 1964. 228x304 mm; 9x12 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, aside from the B edition of 15. Signed, titled, dated, inscribed "Artist's Proof (B)" in pencil, lower margin.

Another impression is in the collection of the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, New Jersey.

Following the September 15, 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, John Biggers reflected on the lives lost of the four young girls who were killed while attending Sunday School. According to Olive Jensen Thiesen, Biggers also made three drawings in a single weekend, Give Me Two Wings, Man of Fire and Mother and Children, in direct response to these events of the Civil Rights struggle. Another edition of this print was printed in 2000, entitled Four Sisters. Thiesen p. 68.
