Author: Tonya Bolden
Publisher Marketing:
Accompanying the much-publicized travelling exhibition African American Masters, this book highlights influential and important African American 20th-century artists, from those of the early part of the century to important participants in the Harlem Renaissance, from self-taught and folk artists to urbane modernists, right up to the vigorous contemporary art scene. The text also includes sidebars highlighting individual pictures and creators, completing a wonderful chapter in the history of American art and in African American life and achievement. Published in conjunction with the Smith-sonian American Art Museum, the nation's greatest repository of African American art, the book includes works by Romare Bearden, Roy DeCarava, Betye Saar, and Augusta Savage, among many others. From Faith Ringgold's fabric interpretation of the Harlem Renaissance, to Gordon parks' celebrated 1996 photograph of Muhammad Ali, the paintings, sculptures, and photographs reproduced here reflect the rich and varied experience of African American artists in the 20th century
