Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This book belongs on the art reference shelf of every major library. A revised and updated edition of the 1978 work Art: African American, it presents short biographies and illustrations of the work of 176 artists of African descent working in the United States from the Revolution to the present. The strongest section covers artists, almost all of them painters, working from 1865 to 1960. Descriptions of artists after 1960 are a jumble of thoughtful three-page essays and uninformative three-sentence citations. Because this scholarly but readable work will be the starting point for so much research, the lack of annotations in the bibliography and the overall variability in the quality of citations is a major disappointment. Despite these flaws, this will be the book to reach for when African American art reference questions arise. Recommended for fine arts collections.

"The contribution made by Blacks to American art is little known to the general public. This book remedies the lack of information and surprises by the African American's vigour in expression and talent. . . . An artistic explosion occurred in the mid-twentieth century, which produced some outstandingly good paintings and sculptures. This book is based on serious research, with a seven page bibliography and detailed index." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
