Descriptions Commentary Woodruff was an extremely influential African American artist in the 1930s-1950s, teaching generations of black artists at Atlanta University and then also teaching at New York University. He was an organizer and participant in important exhibitions of the work of black artists. As a painter and muralist, he served as a motivating example, at a time when few African Americans in this South were presenting themselves as creative artists in the mainstream of American, and even international art.
