Alma Woodsey Thomas was an African American artist who lived from 1891 to 1978. Her family moved from Columbus, Georgia to Washington, DC in 1907 to escape segregation and seek better opportunities. Thomas graduated from Howard University with a degree in art and later received a Master's in Art from Columbia University. Although she worked as a teacher for many years, she continued to pursue art and eventually became known for her abstract works characterized by mosaic-like splashes of color. Thomas found inspiration in nature and focused on expressing beauty and happiness through her art. Despite facing challenges as a Black woman, she achieved recognition and success, including a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1972.
Arts Madness 2025
Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament. Once again, I hope you will weigh in on your favorite artists/artworks as we go from 64 down to 1. For this year’s tournament, I put 32 works from the AP Art History list in one bracket, and on the other side, I have 32 artists/works from my personal “Salon des Refusés” that were not included in the curriculum. Voting for Round 1 will begin Monday, February 24. In the meantime, learn about all the different artists/artworks. I will be posting daily mini episodes for 64 days (mostly encore presentations with some updates and new episodes most Mondays).
