Robert S. Duncanson
Robert Seldon Duncanson (1821 – December 21, 1872) was an African-American painter associated with the Hudson River School. He is often described incorrectly as Robert Scott Duncanson, the son of a Canadian of Scottish descent, but he was actually descended from freed Virginia slaves.
==Background==
He was born in Seneca County, New York, in 1821.〔(Public Broadcasting System, ''Pre-Civil War: Robert Scott Duncanson.'' )〕 As a young boy, Duncanson lived with his father in Canada, while his mother lived in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, a village fifteen miles (24 km) north of Cincinnati. It was not until the summer of 1841 that Duncanson left Canada for Mount Pleasant. Upon his return to his mother’s home, Duncanson said, “I’ve come back to be an artist.”〔Bearden, Romare, and Harry Henderson. ''Black Master of American Art.'' New York: Zenith Books, 1972.〕 Yearning to do more with paint than use it on houses, as he had been doing since 1838 with his house painting and decorating venture, he moved to Cincinnati, which seemed to be the right place. Around this time period, Cincinnati was “known as the Athens of the West.”〔''Lifting the Veil: The Emergence of the African American Artist.'' St. Louis: Sayers Printing, 1995.〕 Although Duncanson possessed the drive and determination to be an artist, he received no technical training. Instead, “determined to break into the exclusively Caucasian art community (he ) taught himself art by painting portraits and copying prints.”〔''Lifting the Veil,'' 1995〕 Duncanson’s determination paid off with a long career that was active until his death in 1872. During his lifetime Duncanson married twice and had three children, Reuben, Milton, and daughter Bertha.〔Bearden, 1972.〕 Robert Duncanson’s life and career took him around the globe and back again.
