EDWIN AUGUSTUS
EDWIN AUGUSTUS HARLESTON(American/South Carolina, 1882-1931)
Sketch of David after Antonin Mercie sculpture, signed lower edge "E A Harleston", charcoal on paper, site 24 x 12 in.; modern frame, 35-1/2 x 22-3/4 in.
See lot 505 for the bronze by Antonin Mercié.
Literature: “Edwin Harleston ”: The Johnson Collection, LLC , thejohnsoncollection.org/edwin-harleston/. Accessed 12 Apr. 2023.
Constantly constrained by both racial barriers and family duty, Edwin Augustus Harleston, who was once described by W. E. B. Du Bois as the “leading portrait painter of the race,” was never able to fully devote himself to his art. Born in Charleston, South Carolina to a prosperous African American family, “Teddy” Harleston graduated as valedictorian from the Avery Normal Institute, the first accredited secondary school for African Americans in the area. He went on to attend Atlanta University, where he studied under Du Bois, a renowned scholar and future co-founder of the NAACP. His enduring relationship with Du Bois fueled Harleston’s academic ambitions and political activism. Determined to rise to his mentor’s challenge to the “talented tenth,” Harleston “took seriously his moral obligation to serve as a guide for [his] race” and would later serve as the first president of the Charleston chapter of the NAACP in 1917. Following his college graduation, Harleston enrolled at the prestigious School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, foregoing his admission to Harvard. Over his six-year tenure in Boston, his instructors included Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell; in 1924 and 1925, Harleston was a summer student at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Despite his promising start as a professional artist in Boston, Harleston was pressured by his father to return to Charleston in 1912 and assume responsibilities with the family funeral home. The tension between family obligations and artistic passion pervaded Harleston’s adult life. In 1920, he married Elise Forrest, who became a respected photographer. Two years later, the couple opened a photography studio—which included space for Edwin to paint—across the street from the Harleston Funeral Home. A first for the African American citizens of Charleston, the establishment sought “to furnish the people of this community who are interested in works of art with portraits, in the following media, oil painting, charcoal, pastel, and French crayons.” In the years that followed, Harleston met with modest success as a painter; racial prejudices and segregation prevented several high profile commissions from coming to fruition and derailed a planned 1926 exhibition of his work at the Charleston Museum. In response, Harleston turned his attention to painting working African Americans. In a 1923 letter to Elise, he explained his plan to carry on the legacy of Henry Ossawa Tanner by portraying African Americans “in our varied lives and types with the classic technique and the truth, not caricatures . . . to do the dignified portrait and take the picturesque composition of arrangements or scenes showing the thousand and one interests of our group in industry, religion, general social contact.”
Harleston often used photographs taken by Elise as source material for his portraits. One example of this practice is Miss Bailey with the African Shawl , widely regarded as one of the artist’s finest works. Sue Bailey, a New Yorker with extensive connections in Harlem’s cultural community, was the national traveling secretary for the YWCA and, in that role, visited Charleston to establish a high school chapter for African-American girls. The three-quarter seated pose executed in strong color, reflects the artist’s sure academic foundation and mastery of mood. Harleston was quite proud of the portrait and entered it in the 1931 Harmon Foundation juried exhibition.
In addition to portrait commissions, Harleston also created paintings depicting many of the local figures—such as black street vendors—featured in works by other artists of the Charleston Renaissance era. In 1930, Aaron Douglas , one of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance, invited Harleston to assist him in completing a mural commission at Fisk University in Nashville. Harleston readily accepted the younger painter’s offer and spent several months working on the project alongside him. The unfinished murals form a backdrop to Harleston’s 1930 portrait of Douglas, a departure from more typical neutral backgrounds seen in other portraits, like that of Miss Bailey.
Edwin Harleston died from pneumonia at the age of forty-nine in Charleston. Today, his works are represented in the collections of the Gibbes Museum of Art, Savannah College of Art and Design Museum of Art, and the California African American Museum.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC
PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS NOTEThis note showcases President John F. Kennedy writing the last names King, Abernathy, and Wilkins on his gold-embossed Aboard Air Force One stationery. JFK was obviously referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, who headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Roy Wilkins, president of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Exactly sixty years ago, during the summer of 1963, Kennedy became the first president since Abraham Lincoln to address the civil rights agenda nationwide. The riots in Birmingham with police dogs and fire hoses; George Wallace's face-down with Nicholas Katzenbach over two blacks wishing to enroll at the University of Alabama; the killing of four young black girls at a church bombing in Birmingham; the August 28th Freedom March at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and the eventual assassination of Kennedy himself dominated the 1963 news.
The late Evelyn Lincoln called it one of the most critical doodles ever sketched by John Fitzgerald Kennedy!
Provenance: comes from the John Burke Jovich collection. World-renowned US Presidential Historian.
JFK's personal secretary during his senatorial and White House years, Evelyn Lincoln, was a dear friend of mine. She frequently reminded Kennedy to pass on his doodles and notes, all unofficial documents, to his friend Congressman Mike Kirwan. Evelyn and her husband Abe (Harold) Lincoln, reviewed every one of JFK's doodles in my Kirwan collection during my visit at their Chevy Chase, MD home back in the early 1990s. She never questioned their authenticity, and her vivid memory of Kennedy scrawling some of the documents brought tears to her eyes. Evelyn was the expert at deciphering the late president's difficult to read handwriting
