description This essay examines the biracial identity of the first professional African-American artists, whose careers flourished in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The history of slavery and the institutionalized rape of enslaved African women factors into a discussion of the privileged status sometimes afforded to the half-white children of slave owners. Benefiting from the fathers' fortunes and from a unique set of social circumstances that existed in cities such as Baltimore and New Orleans, several artists, including Joshua Johnston (c.1765-1830), Jules Lion (1809-1866), and Robert S. Duncanson (1821-1872), were able to attend art schools and gain access to white clientele.
