Dans cette étude révolutionnaire, Richard J. Powell étudie les formes visuelles de satire produites par les artistes noirs dans l’Amérique des 20e et 21e siècles. Soulignant l’utilisation historique de la satire visuelle comme dissidence antiraciste et critique introspective, Powell soutient qu’elle a une lignée distinctement afro-américaine. S’attaquant à certaines des œuvres les plus controversées du siècle dernier dans toute leur complexité, leur humour et leur provocation, Powell soulève d’importantes questions sur le pouvoir social de l’art. Vaste à la fois dans la portée historique et l’étendue des médias présentés, Going There entremêle des discussions sur des œuvres telles que les dessins animés du milieu du siècle d’Ollie Harrington, les installations de Kara Walker, les peintures de Robert Colescott et les films de Spike Lee. Les autres artistes présentés dans le livre incluent David Hammons, Arthur Jafa, Beverly McIver, Howardena Pindell, Betye Saar et Carrie Mae Weems. Minutieusement documenté et riche en contexte, Going There est une lecture essentielle de l’histoire de la satire, de la politique raciale et de l’art contemporain. In this groundbreaking study, Richard J. Powell investigates the visual forms of satire produced by black artists in 20th- and 21st-century America. Underscoring the historical use of visual satire as antiracist dissent and introspective critique, Powell argues that it has a distinctly African American lineage. Taking on some of the most controversial works of the past century--in all their complexity, humor, and provocation--Powell raises important questions about the social power of art. Expansive in both historical reach and breadth of media presented, Going There interweaves discussions of such works as the midcentury cartoons of Ollie Harrington, the installations of Kara Walker, the paintings of Robert Colescott, and the movies of Spike Lee. Other artists featured in the book include David Hammons, Arthur Jafa, Beverly McIver, Howardena Pindell, Betye Saar, and Carrie Mae Weems. Thoroughly researched and rich in context, Going There is essential reading in the history of satire, racial politics, and contemporary art.
