"Deep South" (1941) by William H. Johnson (1901-1970) depicts a scene of rural Black life in the American South. The painting is characterized by its bold colors and simplified forms, typical of the artist's style, which drew inspiration from African art and folk traditions. This artwork showcases Johnson's focus on Black identity and experiences in a time of significant racial segregation in America. The painting is a powerful representation of Black resilience and the beauty of everyday life in the South.
