  <about><![CDATA[Born in Savannah, Georgia, Luther E. Vann grew up in both his hometown and New York City. In addition to having won wide recognition and numerous awards for his work, he can also claim the distinction of having received as a youth his first art lessons from the Harlem Renaissance artist Charles Alston, who won fame for his murals in public spaces and for his cover art in national magazines. Vann’s studies with Alston make him one of the few living artists who can claim a direct link to the Harlem Renaissance. 

From April 16 - August 17, 2008, the Telfair Museum of Savannah will present an extensive exhibition of work by Vann. ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love, is his first book.
