Robert Blackburn (artist)
Robert Hamilton Blackburn (December 12, 1920 – April 21, 2003) was an African-American artist, teacher and printmaker.
Blackburn was born in Summit, New Jersey, to parents who were from Jamaica, and he grew up in Harlem, where his family moved when he was seven years old.〔Leimbach, Dulcie. ("ART; A Master and His Mecca on West 24th St." ), ''The New York Times'', February 8, 1998. Accessed February 20, 2011.〕 He attended P.S. 139 and then Frederick Douglass Junior High School (1932–36), where his English teacher was Countee Cullen. Starting in 1936, he went to DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, where he worked on the literary magazine ''The Magpie'' as a writer and artist.〔Berstein, Alice. ("Harlem Artist Robert Blackburn Remembered" ), ''The New York Beacon'', October 22, 2003.〕 He graduated in 1940.
==Biography==
And at the age of 13, he began attending classes at the Harlem Arts Community Center operated by the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project, studying with Charles Alston and Augusta Savage, among others. He studied lithography and other print-making techniques with Riva Helfond, and he frequented the Uptown Community Workshop, a gathering place for black artists and writers such as Langston Hughes, Richard Wright and Jacob Lawrence.
From early prints that portrayed cityscapes and figures on abstract backgrounds, he moved into more abstract work. From 1940 to 1943, a work scholarship to the Art Students League made it possible for him to study painting with Vaclav Vytlacil and lithography with Will Barnet, who became his friend. Between 1943 and 1948 he supported himself with difficulty with arts-related freelance work, producing maps, charts and other graphics.
