"A comprehensive compendium of artists and writers confronting questions of Black identity, activism and social responsibility in the age of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, based on the landmark traveling exhibition. What is 'Black art'? This question was posed and answered time and time again between 1960 and 1980 by artists, curators and critics deeply affected by this turbulent period of radical social and political upheaval in America. Rather than answering in one way, they argued for radically different ideas of what 'Black art' meant. Across newspapers and magazines, catalogs, pamphlets, interviews, public talks and panel discussions, a lively debate emerged between artists and others to address profound questions of how Black artists should or should not deal with politics, about what audiences they should address and inspire, where they should try to exhibit, how their work should be curated, and whether there was or was not such a category as 'Black art' in the first place. Conceived as a reader connected to the landmark exhibition Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, which shone a light on the vital contributions made by Black artists over two decades, this anthology collects over 200 texts from the artists, critics, curators and others who sought to shape and define the art of their time. Exhaustively researched and edited by exhibition curator Mark Godfrey, who provides the substantial introduction, and Allie Biswas, included are rare and out-of-print texts from artists and writers, as well as texts published for the first time ever." --

Over the past two decades, Mickalene Thomas's critically acclaimed and extensive body of work has spanned painting, collage, photography, video, and the immersive installations that have become her signature. With influences ranging from nineteenth-century painting to popular culture, Thomas's art articulates a complex and empowering vision of aspiration and self-image through gender and race while expanding on and subverting common definitions of beauty, sexuality, and celebrity. This book, made in close collaboration with Thomas, is the first to survey the breadth of her extraordinary career. Publication coincides with the opening of Mickalene Thomas's first global exhibition, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, at Levy Gorvy galleries in New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris

The African diaspora-a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialism-has generated a wide array of artistic achievements, from blues and reggae to the paintings of the pioneering American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner and the music videos of Solange. This study concentrates on how these works, often created during times of major social upheaval and transformation, use Black culture both as a subject and as context. From musings on "the souls of black folk" in late-nineteenth-century art to questions of racial and cultural identities in performance, media, and computer-assisted arts in the twenty-first century, this book examines the philosophical and social forces that have shaped Black presence in modern and contemporary visual culture. Renowned art historian Richard J. Powell presents Black art drawn from across the African diaspora, with examples from the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. Black Art features artworks executed in a broad range of media, including film, photography, performance art, conceptual art, advertising, and sculpture. Now updated and expanded, this new edition helps to better understand how the first two decades of the twenty-first century have been a transformative moment in which previous assumptions about race and identity have been irrevocably altered, with art providing a useful lens through which to think about these compelling issues. La diaspora africaine, conséquence directe de la traite transatlantique des esclaves et du colonialisme occidental, a donné naissance à un large ensemble de réalisations artistiques, du blues et du reggae aux peintures de l'artiste américain pionnier Henry Ossawa Tanner et aux vidéos musicales de Solange. Cette étude se concentre sur la manière dont ces œuvres, souvent créées pendant des périodes de bouleversements et de transformations sociales majeures, utilisent la culture noire à la fois comme sujet et comme contexte. Des réflexions sur "l'âme des Noirs" dans l'art de la fin du XIXe siècle aux questions d'identités raciales et culturelles dans la performance, les médias et les arts assistés par ordinateur au XXIe siècle, ce livre étudie les forces philosophiques et sociales qui ont façonné la présence des Noirs dans la culture visuelle moderne et contemporaine. Richard J. Powell, historien de l'art renommé, présente l'art noir à travers la diaspora africaine, avec des exemples provenant des Amériques, des Caraïbes et d'Europe. Black Art présente des œuvres exécutées dans un large panel de techniques, dont le cinéma, la photographie, l'art de la performance, l'art conceptuel, la publicité et la sculpture. Désormais mise à jour et augmentée, cette nouvelle édition permet de mieux comprendre comment les deux premières décennies du XXIe siècle ont été un moment de transformation au cours duquel les hypothèses précédentes sur la race et l'identité ont été irrévocablement modifiées, l'art fournissant une perspective utile pour réfléchir à ces questions fascinantes.
