The
Black Experience
By John E. Allen
Although I have been painting since 1964, my most
recent work, “The Black
Experience” is my most comprehensive body of work to
date. This is a twenty painting series, oil on canvas which depicts
the African American experience in its full expression, from the
time of our ancestral Kings and Queens, through the atrocities
of slavery, to present date.
The Original oil paintings are only for sale
as a series.
