Abstract

Cette recherche esthétique s'efforce de définir les paradigmes stylistiques des créations artistiques issues des diasporas africaines. Elle montre la commune sensibilité culturelle qui se dégage dans la chanson, la musique et les arts plastiques, mais aussi dans le sport et la pratique religieuse des Afro-Américains. ©Electre 2015

Abstract

En 1966, un étudiant africain américain de 25 ans, Stokely Carmichael, utilise pour la première fois le terme de "black power", qui ne peut se réduire au seul prisme politique. Le Black Power c'est toute une culture, vaste, à part entière. Elle s'exprime sous différentes formes, dans la littérature, via des figures comme James Baldwin ou Maya Angelou, les arts plastiques, de Kerry James Marshall à Jamel Shabazz, sur petit et grand écran, grâce notamment à la Blaxploitation ou Spike Lee, ainsi que dans la musique, vecteur crucial. De Sam Cooke, qui annonce en 1964 A Change Is Gonna Come à Aretha Franklin, qui réclame le Respect, N. W. A. qui lance Fuck tha Police ... la soul, le jazz, le hip-hop, la house ou encore le funk ont permis de porter les voix des Noirs américains dans des contextes tendus si ce n'est discriminatoires. En témoignent le refus de Muhammad Ali de partir au Vietnam, le poing levé de Tommie Smith aux J. O. de Mexico, 1968 ; en témoigne aujourd'hui la vague de protestations suscitée par le meurtre de George Floyd. Suivant un fil chronologique, se partageant entre états des lieux socioculturels, chroniques de disques, films, livres et oeuvres d'art(s) incontournables, portraits ou courts récits d'événements légendaires, Black Power propose un panorama "pop culture" sur plus de cinquante années, des fifties à nos jours, du Mississippi Goddam ! de Nina Simone au Black Lives Matter d'aujourd'hui.

Abstract

"The first major catalogue of contemporary Black American collage, Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Art brings together over sixty-five works of art by fifty artists that reflect the breadth and complexity of Black identity. Rather than casting their work solely in terms of a racial discourse that often portrays African Americans as a monolith, these artists employ collage to convey the intersecting facets of their lived experiences that combine to make whole individuals. Building on a technique that has roots in European and American traditions-used by canonical figures from Picasso and Hannah Höch to Robert Rauschenberg and Romare Bearden-the artists have assembled pieces of paper, photographs, fabrics, and other often salvaged materials to create unified compositions that express the endless possibilities of Black-constructed narratives despite the fragmentation of our times. As artist Deborah Roberts asserts, "With collage, I can create a more expansive and inclusive view of the Black cultural experience." In addition to eight scholarly essays, the book features 140 color images of work by artists including McArthur Binion, Mark Bradford, Zoë Charlton, Tomashi Jackson, Arthur Jafa, Rashid Johnson, Yashua Klos, Kerry James Marshall, Wangechi Mutu, Lovie Olivia, Ebony Patterson, Howardena Pindell, Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Deborah Roberts, Tschabalala Self, Devan Shimoyama, David Shrobe, Lorna Simpson, Nyugen Smith, Paul Anthony Smith, Mickalene Thomas, Kara Walker, and others. Short biographies written by honor students at Fisk University accompany each artist's entry, concluding a comprehensive and inclusive look at collage today"--

Abstract

"'The Time is Always Now' assembles contemporary African diasporic artists working in the UK and US whose practice foregrounds the Black figure. Published to coincide with the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, this publication explores and celebrates contemporary Black artists internationally who work within Black figuration. This visual book examines contemporary figurative artworks against a backdrop of heightened cultural visibility. Within this context, its collected paintings, drawings and sculptures take on a dual role as the accomplished work of individual artists and as a collective assertion of Black presence" -- page [4] of cover.
