Robert Blackburn (December 10, 1920 - April 21, 2003) was an African American artist, teacher and printmaker.
He was born in Summit, New Jersey in 1920 and grew up in Harlem. As a teenager, he studied lithography and other print-making techniques. From early prints which portrayed figures on abstract backgrounds, he moved into more abstract work. In 1948, he established the Printmaking Workshop. He received a MacArthur fellowship in 1992.
He died in New York City in 2003.
