Curated Public Domain Free Art Black is Beautiful Collection

The collection includes paintings, sketches, illustrations, drawings, and more links at the bottom of Kadie Pangburn’s post. These are high resolution files that you can print out.

“Please be aware that several of the images in this gallery are NOT in the public domain, however the museum has graciously provided high resolution digital downloads of the files for PERSONAL USE ONLY.”

From Kadie Pangburn:

“Of the underrepresented POC individuals, Black individuals have consistently been ignored as subjects, white-washed, misrepresented, or vilified by the white european controlled art world. With Black women in particular being one of the most underrepresented figures in western art history.

With this in mind, over the past year, I’ve been working to curate a gallery of free, high resolution public domain artwork that represents Black individuals with dignity and respect. It is my hope to keep growing this collection over time as I discover additional pieces of work.

If you are interested in learning more about this collection, the representation of Black bodies in Western Art and why I chose to alter the titles of several of these works, please be sure and read the collection notes at the bottom of this post.”
