Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
A Century of African American Art showcases the work of 66 artists found in the seminal collection created by Paul R. Jones. Born in Alabama, Jones was active in the civil rights movement, worked in the White House, and served as a deputy director of the Peace Corps in Thailand. A man of modest means with a great passion for art, Jones sought to both support African American artists and redress the absence of black artists in mainstream museums. And what an eye Jones has. This beautifully produced book presents stellar work by such artists as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Lois Mailou Jones, Betye Saar, and Leo Twiggs, as well as photographs by James VanDerZee, Prentice H. Polk, and Carrie Mae Weems, all accompanied by perceptive essays and useful artist biographies. Donna Seaman
