African-American Art (Oxford History of Art)
"Excellent artists' profiles, lots of reproductions, and illuminating and original discussions of social and cultural contexts of African American art."ۥBooklist.
The African diasporaۥa direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialismۥgenerated a wide array of artistic achievements in the past century, from blues to reggae, from the paintings of Henry Ossawa Tanner to the video installations of Keith Piper. Richard Powell's study concentrates on the works of art themselves and on how these works, created during a time of major social upheaval and transformation, use black culture as both subject and context.Country | USA |
