Harlem Hellfighters Diorama

Harlem Hellfighters Diorama

This diorama is a part of a collection of dioramas that was made for the Black World Fair in 1940.

The object had experienced poor handling, with much of the background broken away from the base.

My responsibilities were to:

  1. Fill low spots due to missing paint with matte medium
  2. Consolidate loose diorama elements with B72
  3. Inpaint with PVA paints

Location:

Winterthur Paintings Lab

Materials:

Masonite, oil paint

Origin:

United States, 1940
