During the years that S.C. Humanities sponsored the South Carolina Book Festival in Columbia, the work of one artist was chosen repeatedly as the featured image on posters advertising that annual weekend event. That artist is Jonathan Green, whose vibrantly colored paintings and prints celebrate the Gullah culture of the South Carolina and Georgia Low Country.
Until the end of August, the Morris Museum of Art will be hosting a special exhibition titled “Jonathan Green: The Aesthetics of Heritage.” This show of pieces from the museum’s permanent collection represents the largest assemblage of the artist’s work in a public repository.
