Eugene Grigsby: Works on Paper
Eugene Grigsby has been an influential
educator and artist in the valley art community for over fifty years.
In the early years Grigsby started an art department at the segregated
George Washington Carver high school and later taught at ASU in the School
of Art from 1966-1988. Active in many organizations including the National
Art Education Association, Grigsby has been concerned with leadership
opportunities and with creating better teaching environments and social
structures for people of color for many years. His works on paper - woodcuts,
lithographs, screen prints and paintings - reflect his concern for the
conditions under which people live and his search to better understand
his African heritage. This show, with the exhibition The Art of Eugene
Grigsby simultaneously on view at the Phoenix Art Museum, is in tribute
to Dr. Grigsby’s lifelong contributions and achievements in art and art
education.
