AMINAH ROBINSON (1940-2015) “The Umbrella Man” Original Watercolor Study

This original watercolor by famed Columbus artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson (1940-2015) depicts a man carrying an array of brightly colored umbrellas on a background of washy Naples yellow. Drawing upon memories of the Mt. Vernon Street community during her early childhood, Robinson originally created this piece as a study for her 1997 book, A Street Called Home. This gestural figure showcases Robinson’s classic and much beloved style and technique and is housed in a blonde wood framing. Signed, dated, and marked with an inventory number by the artist along the bottom of the paper.
