David Driskell, artist and scholar, is regarded as one of the world's leading authorities on African American Art. Driskell was born in 19311 in Eatonton, Georgia and educated at Howard University, where he earned his undergraduate degree. He later went on to get his MFA from Catholic University in Washington D.C. In 1976, Driskell opened the groundbreaking exhibition "Two Centuries of Black American Art" at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Since 1977, Driskell has served as cultural advisor to Camille and Bill Cosby, as well as the curator of the Cosby Collection of Fine Arts. He has written five exhibition books, co-authored four others and published more than forty catalogues from exhibitions that he has curated. He has lectured extensively in North America, Europe, Africa, and South America, and has
taught at numerous universities. In 1998, the University of Maryland established the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the African Diaspora. He has been a practicing artist since the 1950s and has exhibited his work widely around the world. He is highly sought after as a major stained glass artist. In December of 2000, President Clinton bestowed the National Humanities Medal on Driskell. Driskell has been printing with Master Printer Curlee Raven Holton since 2003.
