Item Description...
Overview
Contains sixty-six alphabetically arranged entries that profile African-American artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and briefly describes the lives and accomplishments of Ghada Amer, Norman Lewis, Hale Woodruff, and others.
Publishers Description
African American heritage is rich with stories of family, community, faith, love, adaptation and adjustment, grief, and suffering, all captured in a variety of media by artists intimately familiar with them. From traditional media of painting and artists such as Horace Pippin and Faith Ringgold, to photography of Gordon Parks, and new media of Sam Gilliam and Martin Puryear (installation art), the African American experience is reflected across generations and works. Eight pages of color plates and black and white images throughout the book introduce both favorite and new artists to students and adult readers alike. |

| This is a very light-weight book on African American Art. It breaks no new ground and the information that is provided is substantially less than can be gotten from other publications on African American Art by Samella Lewis, Sharon Patton, Richard Powell, Thomas Riggs, or David Driskell. For the dollars spent and the value received, it is tremendously overpriced. | | | Write your own review about Encyclopedia of African American Artists (Artists of the American Mosaic)
