\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Multiplicity in Motion<\/em> invites viewers to explore the depth and breadth of a single artistic vision expressed through multiple works.\u00a0 This exhibition challenges the notion of singularity by presenting a series of pieces that, while distinct, are interconnected through the artist\u2019s evolving ideas, techniques, and perspectives.\u00a0 Each work becomes a lens into a different facet of creativity \u2013 revealing how repetition, variation , and contrast can coexist within one voice.\u00a0 Together, these works form a dialogue that transcends individual pieces, offering a richer understanding of the artist\u2019s practice and the complexity of interpretation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11809

acquired through donations from various individuals.\u00a0 For instance, \u00a0A. B. Jackson, who was a noted local artist, had artwork acquired by select residents in Norfolk who have since donated his works to us. The three Romare Bearden pieces included were collected by one donor, Attorney Michael Todd. A resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, Todd has donated several prize works from his collection in honor of his nephews, both Hampton graduates. Other pieces in the exhibition have either come from the artists directly or other friends of the Museum.\u00a0 The Countee Cullen Collection consists of works collected by Cullen and his wife that were purchased by the museum as an acquisition.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-11808 size-medium aligncenter lazyload\"

In 1865, a few years before Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute was founded Harriet Tubman spent about three months documenting and aiding the patients at the \u201cColored Hospital.\u201d She was assigned by the Surgeon General to stay and work at Fort Monroe but there are no records to indicate that the appointment was ever officially made. As we commemorate VA 250, the American Revolution we look to educate and celebrate the \u201cRoad to Freedom\u201d for people of color.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

world-famous for his incredible religious paintings that often incorporated dramatic glowing light, he was outdoors painting nature scenes. These early paintings deserve way more attention than they get. Two of these early pieces, <em>Fauna<\/em> and <em>Flora<\/em>, give us a glimpse of Tanner&#8217;s future creations to come. They are remarkable when you think about the fact that he was just beginning his journey as an artist.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_11663\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11663\" style=\"width: 528px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-11663 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/fauna.png?resize=528%2C630&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"630\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/fauna.png?w=671&amp;ssl=1 671w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/fauna.png?resize=231%2C275&amp;ssl=1 231w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/fauna.png?resize=528%2C630&amp;ssl=1 528w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 528px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 528\/630;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11663\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Fauna, 1878 \u2013 79, oil on canvas<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><em>Fauna<\/em> is the first time we know of Tanner painting animals. By this point, he\u2019d gotten confident with his brush, and he was really trying to make his mark as an animal and landscape painter. What\u2019s remarkable about this piece is how peaceful it feels. The deer and their surroundings are just completely in sync with each other. You can tell it\u2019s an early work because the brushstrokes are a little stiff and the anatomy isn\u2019t quite perfect, but honestly, that is part of what makes it interesting.<\/p><p>What really stands out about this painting is the light. Even this early in his career, Tanner was obsessed with how light works. He used rich browns and greens from the forest floor to create this soft reflected glow that later in his career became his trademark. When you look at <em>Fauna<\/em>, you feel like you\u2019re right there in the woods. Everything\u2019s quiet and you\u2019re just observing the world in its natural state. In this painting Tanner works out his whole approach to light, tone and atmosphere. These are the skills that would capture people\u2019s attention in later masterpieces like <em>The Banjo Lesson<\/em> and <em>Daniel in the Lion\u2019s Den<\/em>.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_11673\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11673\" style=\"width: 524px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-11673 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/flora.png?resize=524%2C630&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"524\" height=\"630\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/flora.png?w=666&amp;ssl=1 666w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/flora.png?resize=229%2C275&amp;ssl=1 229w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.hamptonu.edu\/msm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/03\/flora.png?resize=524%2C630&amp;ssl=1 524w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 524px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 524\/630;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Flora, ca. 1880, oil on canvas<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><em>Fauna<\/em> should be viewed along with its companion piece, <em>Flora<\/em>. <em>Flora<\/em> is all about the depth of the forest in upstate New York. Tanner creates massive trees that make you feel small, mossy rocks with crazy texture and a dramatic dance between shadows and sunlight breaking through canopy. It\u2019s less about creatures and more about the raw power and beauty of the landscape itself.<\/p><p>Tanner painted these two paintings while convalescing in the Adirondack Mountains. The mountains gave him peace and clearly a ton of inspiration. While the titles don\u2019t name any specific place, you can feel that rugged northeastern wilderness in every brushstroke.<\/p><p>These two paintings capture an important moment in Tanner\u2019s career. Tanner is a young black American artist finding his voice, experimenting with his style and developing the techniques that would eventually make him internationally celebrated. They are snapshots of an artist on the rise; someone who\u2019s already got something special but is still figuring things out. <em>Fauna<\/em> and <em>Flora<\/em> are both on display at the Hampton University Museum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a152171 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a152171\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-144fbb0\" data-id=\"144fbb0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14c50f1 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"14c50f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 120 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M54,1.6V26h-9V2.5L54,1.6z M69,1.6v23.3L60,26V1.6H69z M24,1.6v23.5l-9-0.6V1.6H24z M30,0l9,0.7v24.5h-9V0z M9,2.5v22H0V3.7L9,2.5z M75,1.6l9,0.9v22h-9V1.6z M99,2.7v21.7h-9V3.8L99,2.7z M114,3.8v20.7l-9-0.5V3.8L114,3.8z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dd81381 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dd81381\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-505acea\" data-id=\"505acea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c4c136f\" data-id=\"c4c136f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-177bd77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"177bd77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lorence \u201cBrylan\u201d Clarkson-White<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d726588 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d726588\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lorence is a junior entrepreneurship major with a minor in communications at Hampton University, from Atlanta, GA.
