Sci Fi Becomes Reality| PST ART | PBS SoCal

Known almost exclusively as the man that ""discovered peanuts,"" George Washington Carver was more than a farmer. He was a scientist, specializing in botany and mycology, and he was a painter. In the exhibit, World Without End, thirty artists collaborate to tell a story of the man who was more than peanuts: a scientist, an artist, and more importantly, a man of the people. One piece at the California African American Museum (CAAM) explores the paint pigments created by Carver in his lab, representing both his passion for science and art. The piece contains patents from African American scientists including the very Prussian blue pigment created by Carver (and recreated by Chicago based artist Amanda Williams,) that is used in the artwork.

Worlds Without was part of PST ART: Art and Science Collide, a multidisciplinary civic art project taking place around Los Angeles and Southern California.
