Jonathan Green's artwork as jigsaw puzzles

A native of Gardens Corner, South Carolina, Jonathan Green (American, b. 1955) was raised in the black “Gullah” culture of the coastal Southeast. As a nationally recognized artist of southern culture and heritage, Green is often placed in context with other important artists of the African American experience such as Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, and John Biggers. His work celebrates the work, daily life, community, and dignity of people of the rural South.
