What is the name of the Varnette P Honeywood that hangs in the Huxtable home on the Cosby Show showing 3 men and 3 women facing one direction?

Answer 1

Taken from an article on http://biography.jrank.org/pages/2856/Honeywood-Varnette-P.html In the 1980s, after quitting her job as director of an art outreach program at USC, Honeywood met actor and author Bill Cosby and his wife Camille. Camille Cosby had discovered Honeywood's work on note cards. Honeywood told Jacqueline Trescott of the Washington Post in 1997 that the Cosbys "came into my life at a time when I needed that confidence. People had been chipping away at my confidence." A reproduction of her 1974 painting "Birthday" was seen by millions of television viewers on the living-room wall of The Cosby Show that ran from 1984 until 1992. Later the painting formed the backdrop for Cosby's Kids Say the Darndest Things. Cosby had sparked Hollywood's interest in black art and Honeywood's work subsequently appeared on other television series including Amen and 227. In 1996 Honeywood created a collage for the dedication of the Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Academic Center at Spelman.
