The first black literature in America was not written but was preserved in an oral tradition,
in a rich body of folklore, songs, and stories, many from African origins. There are humorous
tales, Biblical stories, animal stories, and stories of natural phenomena, of good and bad
people, and of the wise and foolish. Many reflect how African Americans viewed themselves
and their lives. The lyrics of blues, spirituals, and work songs speak of suffering and hope, joy
and pain, loved ones, and religious faith, and are an integral part of the early literature of black
people in America.
The earliest existing written black literature was Lucy Terrys poem Bars Fight, written in
1746. Other eighteenth-century black poets include Jupiter Hammon and George Moses Horton.
The first African American to publish a book in America was Phillis Wheatley. Black poetry also
flourished in the nineteenth century, during which the writings of almost forty poets were
printed, the most notable of whom was Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first black American to
achieve national acclaim for his work, Dunbar published eight volumes of poetry and eight
novels and collections of stories.
More than three dozen novels were written by blacks between 1853 and 1899, but
autobiography dominated African-American literature in the nineteenth century, as it had in the
eighteenth. In the twentieth century, however, fiction has presided, with Charles W. Chestnutt,
Americas first black man of letters, successfully bridging the two centuries. He began
publishing short fiction in the mid-1880s, wrote two books that appeared in 1899, and had
three books published between 1900 and 1905. He was a pioneer of the new literature of
early 1900s, which aimed to persuade readers of the worth and equality of African Americans.

The next artist in this survey of American artist is James Whistler; he is included in this survey of
American artists because he was born in the United States, although the majority of his artwork was
completed in Europe. Whistler was born in Massachusetts in 1834, but nine years later his father moved the
family to St. Petersburg, Russia, to work on the construction of a railroad. The family returned to the United
States in 1849. Two years later Whistler entered the U.S. military academy at West Point, but he was unable
to graduate. At the age of twenty-one, Whistler went to Europe to study art despite familial objection, and
he remained in Europe until his death.
Whistler worked in various arts form, including etchings and lithographs. However, he is most famous
for his paintings, particularly Arrangement in Gray and Black No.1: Portrait of the Artist's Mother or
Whistler's Mother, as it is more commonly known. This painting shows a side view of Whistler's mother,
dressed in black and posing against a gray wall. The asymmetrical nature of the portrait, with his mother
seated off-center, is highly characteristic of Whistler's work.
