Damballah Dolphus Smith, b. 1943 - d. 1992, a Washington-based visual artist and friend, who received his training at the Philadelphia College of Art. His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the National Exhibition of Contemporary African American Art in Atlanta, and has been collected by the Afro-American Museum of History and Culture in Philadelphia, the U.S. Information Agency, the African American Scholars Council and numerous private collections. His works have also been published in Black Artists on Art, Art Papers, and Selected Essays: Art from the Harlem Renaissance to the 1980s.
"The images which have evolved from my life force have always been spiritual/cultural. The infinity of ancestral spirits has been a central recurring theme in my work."
Photo taken in the Smithsonian's African Art Museum, in 1984. He was an extraordinary, and gifted artist and friend!!
