Abstract

In 2001, Freestyle, a survey exhibition curated by Thelma Golden at the Studio Museum in Harlem, introduced both a young generation of artists of African descent and the ambitious yet knowingly opaque term post-black to a pre 9-11 and pre-Obama world. In Taking Stakes in the Unknown, Nana Adusei-Poku contextualizes the term post-black in its socio-historical and cultural context. Whilst exploring its present legacy and past potential, she examines works by artists who were defined as part of the post-black generation: Mark Bradford, Leslie Hewitt, Mickalene Thomas and Hank Willis Thomas - and, by expanding the scope of the definition, the Black German artist Philip Metz.

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.

Abstract

"Comment écrire un livre sur une notion problématique, la race, qui a forgé une idéologie de la domination ? Comment la réinvestir en l'articulant à un corpus d'objets spécifiques — les oeuvres d'art représentant des figures noires — qui furent à la fois fétichisés et neutralisés par le musée et le discours ? Et enfin, comment historiciser, tout en gardant à l'esprit leur force essentialisante : l'art, la race, l'Africain et les Lumières, catégories qui ne fonctionnent pas seulement dans la compréhension que l'on peut en avoir dans un temps donné — celui, grossièrement, du XVIIIe siècle — mais qui ont une valeur heuristique par-delà leurs usages initiaux ? Ce sont ces questions qui ont présidé à l'initiative de ce livre. Fondé sur une recherche de plus de dix ans sur les formes qu'ont prises les représentations des Noirs dans l'art français d'avant l'imaginaire abolitionniste, il couvre l'art et les cultures visuelles qui vont de la fin du XVIIe siècle, quand les colonies antillaises commencèrent à percer dans le champ artistique métropolitain, au premier tiers du XIXe siècle quand l'échec de la première abolition de l'esclavage (1802) durcit l'iconographie partisane en mettant la violence des vies dans les plantations à l'ordre du jour de la création artistique."

Abstract

"This exhibition offers an unprecedented look at the life and artistic achievements of seventeenth-century Afro-Hispanic painter Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608-1670). Largely known today as the subject of The Met's iconic portrait by Diego Velázquez, Pareja was enslaved in Velázquez's studio for over two decades before becoming an artist in his own right. This presentation is the first to tell his story and examine the role of enslaved artisanal labor and a multiracial society in the art and material culture of Spain's so-called "Golden Age." Representations of Spain's Black and Morisco populations in works by Francisco de Zurbarán, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Velázquez join works that chart the ubiquity of enslaved labor across media, from sculpture to silver. The Met's portrait, executed by Velázquez in Rome in 1650, is contextualized by his other portraits from this period and the original document whereby Pareja was freed upon return to Madrid. The exhibition culminates in the first gathering of Pareja's rarely seen paintings, some of enormous scale, which engage with the canons of Western art while reverberating throughout the African diaspora. Harlem Renaissance collector and scholar Arturo Schomburg was vital to the recovery of Pareja's work and serves as a thread connecting seventeenth-century Spain with twentieth-century New York, providing a lens through which to view the multiple histories that have been written about Pareja."--

Abstract

Exploring the art and life of this important American artist whose work bridged the gaps between abstraction, feminism, and Blackness, Howardena Pindell: Reclaiming Abstraction is a fascinating examination of the multifaceted career of artist, activist, curator, and writer Howardena Pindell (b. 1943). It offers a fresh perspective on her abstract practice from the late 1960s through the early 1980s--a period in which debates about Black Power, feminism, and modernist abstraction intersected in uniquely contentious yet generative ways. Sarah Louise Cowan not only asserts Pindell's rightful place within the canon but also recenters dominant historical narratives to reveal the profound and overlooked roles that Black women artists have played in shaping modernist abstraction. Pindell's career acts as a springboard for a broader study of how artists have responded during periods of heightened social activism and used abstraction to convey political urgency. With works that drew on Ghanaian textiles, administrative labor, cosmetics, and postminimalism, Pindell deployed abstraction in deeply personal ways that resonated with collective African diasporic and women's practices. In her groundbreaking analysis, Cowan argues that such work advanced Black feminist modernisms, diverse creative practices that unsettle racist and sexist logics.

Abstract

"This major new study of Black figurative art and self-representation from Africa and the African diaspora features more than 200 paintings by 161 artists. These carefully selected works explore the many ways in which artists have imagined, positioned, remembered and asserted African and diasporic experiences from the early 20th century to now. In particular, they demonstrate how painters have contributed to the ongoing discussions around pan-Africanism, civil rights, African liberation and independence, the Anti-Apartheid and Black Consciousness movements, Black Lives Matter and, more recently, Afropolitanism. A series of thematic sections--on subjects such as sensuality, spirituality and emancipation--is interspersed with specially commissioned stories and poems by leading writers Ken Bugul, Maaza Mengiste, Bill Kouélany and Robin Coste Lewis. These percipient reflections on the Black experience work with the paintings to deepen the debate about Black subjectivity." -- back cover.
