The first biographical study of Henry Ossawa Tanner. It is based on extensive research in the United States and in France, where Tanner emigrated before the turn of the century to find the freedom and acceptance denied him at home. In addition to providing a full account of Tanner's life, the book gives the reader an insight into the art trends of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and also into the struggle of African Americans at that time.
