Edmund Minor Archer

Edmund Archer's Portraits of Black men and women radiate his sitters' dignity and starkly contrast to the caricatures and stereotypes of earlier Richmond artists and 20th-century popular culture. His honest portrayals tell the story of a progressive group of Richmond artists working at the end of the Jim Crow era.
