Portrait of W.E.B. Du Bois - painting by Trace Meek

Portrait of W.E.B. Du Bois

1997, acrylic on plywood, private collection (commissioned)

This painting is one of three portraits of local historical figures that I installed outdoors at Rao’s Coffee Roasting Company in Amherst, Massachusetts. The other two portraits were of Paul Revere and Emily Dickinson.
