Abstract

PHILADELPHIA -- Henry Ossawa Tanner was a reluctant avatar. The subject of ''Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit,'' a historically gripping exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, he is remembered today as the first African-American artist to achieve international fame in modern times. But that is not how he wanted to be known. Frustrated by prejudice in the United States, Tanner (1859-1937) moved to Europe in 1891 in search of a race-blind environment. There he found success as a painter of luminous pictures of biblical subjects that made no reference to the African-American experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
