Background
Ketner, Joseph Dale was born on October 30, 1955 in Anderson, Indiana, United States.
(Known in the mid-19th century as the best landscape paint...)
Known in the mid-19th century as the best landscape painter in the West, paricularly for his pictures of the Ohio River, the African-American Robert S. Duncanson fell into obscurity for almost a century after his death. This illustrated biography aims to restore the artist to his place in the history of American art. Ketner treats Duncanson and his art within the context of his own times, as well as within the tradition of former, current and subsequent 19th-century African-American artists.
