Jonathan Green was born in Gardens Corner, South Carolina. He graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has traveled widely throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the West Indies, Switzerland, Germany, England, and France. While his appeal and perspective are truly modern and cosmopolitan, his art draws upon personal experience steeped in the traditions of family, community, and life in the low country of South Carolina. Green’s paintings portray the orderly beauty that exists in even the simplest tasks. His work serves as a document of a humanist perspective and way of life—a way of being that is rustic yet filled with elegance—plain, yet layered in rich color. Balancing the serene atmospheres of his work with a strikingly contemporary approach to movement, Green captures the essence of simple acts of joy—from gazing out to sea or bringing home the harvest to walking on the beach or talking with a friend. Critics often count Green among the most culturally significant African American artists of our time. Thirty full-color reproductions. Oversized postcards measure 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 in.
