Question: Question to collectors of African American artwork!.!.!.!?
I painted something for a friend but a co-worker saw it and asked if it was for sale!. Then she casually mentioned that she collected "black artwork"

I had painted the image of my friend, a black woman!. But I am a white artist!.

I thought that "black artwork" would portray black people, BUT also would be painted by a black artist!.

How far off am I here!? If someone says they collect "black (or African American) artwork!.!.!. do they care what "color" the artist is!?!!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
African-American art is commonly known as "black art!." As long as you're painting black portraits and have potential clients I don't think it would matter that you're white!. Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
