African American artists have contributed to this nation's cultural landscape throughout its history. From colonial to modern times and realistic portraiture to minimalistic sculpture and striking abstractions, these diverse works and artists deserve more credit. A good example of such an important art work is the one done by Alma Thomas, the Grassy Melodic Chant, 1976. Acrylic on Canvas. This was assembled by Megan D. Robinson, a freelance writer and a performance artist, on August 7, 2020.

Alma Thomas (born 1891) was an arts teacher in Washington DC, and only began serious painting after retirement. Initially a representative painter, her work evolved into exuberant abstract exploration of color and form, inspired by natural patterns. Her acrylic painting, Grassy Melodic Chant, bursts with light. Organic geometric blocks of turquoise color, arranged in mosaic patterns and bordered with white negative space, suggests the vibrant energy of blossoming flowers.

She was the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Arts , in 1972, at the age of 81.
