Duncanson was referred to as a “freeborn person of color” as his mother was an African American. Duncanson faced racial discrimination at multiple points in his career. At one point his family was unable to attend his exhibitions. Duncanson persevered, having success that started in Cincinnati and spread around the world.</p>

Duncanson collaborated with a photographer to do an experimental series titles, “Chemical Paintings”. In 1848 Duncanson was looking for a change and decided to relocate to Detroit. Duncanson remained in Detroit only a short while making portrait and genre paintings, before returning to Cincinnati.</p>

Duncanson worked alongside fellow artists Whittredge and Sonntag who were part of the Hudson River School. Duncanson went on frequent sketching expeditions, returning to his studio in Cincinnati to make finished paintings. The Ohio River Valley became Duncanson’s primary subject. Duncanson tried to make the same spiritual and philosophical connections to work, as the Hudson River School painters had done.</p>
