Protégé of Auguste Rodin, described as “one of the most imaginative black artists of her generation”, she has celebrated the themes of Afrocentrism throughout her career. An absolute protagonist of the Harlem Renaissance, Warrick dedicated herself to poetry, painting, scenography and sculpture, a discipline which will make her known even overseas. Adopting a figurative style based on horror and choosing to represent the terrible racial injustices – including Mary Turner’s lynching – Warrick has confronted and sharply laid bare African Americans’ social sufferings.
