Timeline
On May 22, 2015, Robinson died of a heart complication. She left all her belongings to the Columbus Museum of Art. The museum established the “Aminah Robinson Legacy project” to continue to promote her work. As part of the project, the museum transformed her house into a residency area for Black Artists.
Her work has been displayed at the Columbus Museum of Art, the Tacoma Art Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum. Robinson had been the subject of nearly two hundred solo and group exhibitions before the 2002 retrospective, Symphonic Poem: The Art of Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson at the Columbus Museum of Art.
In 1984, Robinson received the Ohio Governor’s Award for the Visual Arts. In 2004, she was awarded the MacArthur Genius Grant for folk artists. The grant celebrates themes of “family, ancestry, and the grandeur of simple objects in drawings, paintings, and large-scale, mixed-media assemblages”.
Friend and colleague Kojo Kamau of Columbus’ ACE Gallery first encouraged Robinson to travel to Africa, raising money through the non-profit, Art for Community Expression, created specifically to raise money for artists to travel to Africa. On her trip to Africa in 1979, Robinson was christened with the name “Aminah” (derived from Aamina, mother of the Islamic prophet Muhamad) by an Egyptian cleric. She changed her name legally to include the forename in 1980. Robinson felt that travelling “enrich[ed] herself and her work”.
In 1974, she purchased a house on Columbus’s East Side which would become her studio.
In 1964, Robinson married Clarence Robinson, later separating in 1971. The couple had a son, Sydney, who died by suicide in 1994.
Robinson received her formal art training at the Columbus Art School (now the Columbus College of Art and Design) from 1957-1960. She continued to live and work in Columbus. Then she studied art history and philosophy at Ohio State University (1960 to 1963), Franklin University, and Columbus’ Bliss College.
Robinson worked tirelessly on the civil rights movement in the 1950s and participated in the 1963 March on Washington that advocated for African American rights.
Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson (February 18, 1940 – May 22, 2015) was an American artist who represented Black history through art.
Robinson was born on February 18, 1940 to Leroy Edward Robinson and Helen Elizabeth Zimmerman-Robinson in Columbus, Ohio. She was raised within the close-knit community of Poindexter Village, one of the country’s first federally funded metropolitan housing developments. The village was “replete with Black cultural traditions such as storytelling, reverence for elders and promotion of creativity”. Stories of Black history were passed down to her at an early age and she was eager to share them with her community and the world. Robinson’s Aunt Annie, formerly an enslaved person, taught her about the cruel system of slavery.
