Georgia Landscape
When Hale Woodruff was going through a stage of depression he consistently turned to the Georgia landscape for inspiration. He ended up painting a painting called Georgia Landscape.
I personally like this
painting because of its
strange look.

The Art of the Negro
In this painting Hale Woodruff shows all the different roles that African Americans play in society. He shows a African American Artist, Priest, Writer and a farmer.

Monkey Man 2
This is a good example of Hale’s abstract art. I truthfully do not see a monkey, a man, or understand the need for a 2. whether I understand it or not both the name and the drawing technique interested me.

His Goal
His original goal was to be a famous landscape painter in the tradition of the Indiana artists of Brown County. Later he decided to dedicate his paintings toward African American culture and inspire others.

Quotes
• “I think abstractly because I think that abstraction is another kind of reality. And although [as an artist] you may see a realistic subject like a glass or table or chair, you have to…transform that into a picture, and my whole feeling is that to get the spectator involved, [art] has to extend his vision, not…verify that which he already knows, but extend his vision and his way of seeing so that there is a wider experience open…to him, and this is the way I work.”
