Black Dimensions in Contemporary American Art
Häftad bok. Plume Books. 1971. 127 sidor.
Mycket gott skick. Ungefär varannan sida är konstverk återgivna i färg och varannan är beskrivningar av konstnärerna. "The artists whose works appear in this volume are from every region of the United States. Their paintings represent a wide variety of styles and themes which, in turn, reflect every major trend in modern American art. Yet the diversity of style, theme, and locale presented in this landmark collection is unified by one immutable link -- each artist is black and living in 20th-century America. Each, too, is acutely aware of the various qualities which define the American experience -- among them, violence, conflict, and racism. The black experience, of which these painters are a part, is indelibly marked by influcences unique to the black man's heritage of oppression, heroic resistance, and his struggle for existence and visibility. It is here through the artistic medium that the black artist conveys that which he perceives -- his own, personal vision of America.".
