By Grafton Tyler Brown (1841-1918), the first professional African American painter in the Pacific Northwest, “Castle Geyser, Yellowstone,” 1890, oil on canvas, 21.125 x 14.375 iinches, Denver Art Museum. #art #blackart #blackartist #blackartists #BlackHistory #arthistory

From the museum: “He first visited Yellowstone in 1886 and, after settling in Helena in 1889, he painted renditions of the National Park for tourists traveling along the Northern Pacific Railway. Castle Geyser, Yellowstone features a prominent geological feature named because its tall cone structure. Castle Geyser erupts about every 14 hours. Water from the eruption reaches up to 75 feet and lasts about 20 minutes, according to the National Park Service. Using a low horizon line of darkened forest, Brown emphasizes the height and brilliance of the erupting geyser. The billowing white spray complements the layers of pink and orange sediment in the foreground. Because the base of Castle Geyser is actually quite white, these warm colors, also reflected on the clouds in the background, suggest that we are witnessing a sunset eruption. The painting combines Brown’s observations of the geyser as well as his artistic license in choosing beautiful complementary colors.” Also from the museum: “Like his parents and siblings, Brown was listed as Black in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. His biographer Robert Chandler states that in Sacramento, where Brown landed in 1858, he was also listed as Black. However, after his move to San Francisco in 1861, this racial identifier disappeared. As Caoimhe Morgan-Feir writes for Canadian Art, the fact that his race was not identified in publicity for an exhibition of his landscape paintings in Victoria, BC, probably underscores that he passed there as white. If Brown had been perceived as Black, it would have certainly made the papers. This omission matters, for it helps reveal how Brown negotiated racial prejudice by passing as white within the notoriously exclusionary field of fine art. It also reminds us to pay attention to the omissions in our own historical collections, in which works by Black artists and other artists of color are all too frequently missing.”

Imagine having to change your lightbulbs every few hours

You've probably only been taught that the lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison, and that's technically true, but Edison's light bulbs were not practical and burnt out in only a few hours. In comes Lewis Latimer, who came up with the idea for carbon filaments, what made light bulbs last for months. In 1918, he was the first person of colour to join the Edison Pioneers.
