Dox Thrash (1893-1965) was an innovative printmaker and key figure in Philadelphia's vibrant African American art scene in the early and middle twentieth century. A native of Georgia and a veteran of World War I, he lived and worked in North Philadelphia for most of his career, regularly documenting the bustling street life in the city’s bourgeoning African American working-class neighborhoods. He lived at 2340 Cecil B. Moore (then Columbia Avenue) from 1945 until 1958. In 2001, his work was featured in a Philadelphia Museum of Art retrospective, Dox Thrash: An African American Master Printmaker Rediscovered.
