African American Art and Artists Paperback - 2003
by Samella Lewis; Foreword by Floyd Coleman; Introduction by Mary Jane Hewitt
Lewis has brought "African American Art and Artists" fully up to date in this revised and expanded edition. The book now looks at the works and lives of artists from the 18th century to the present, including new work in traditional media as well as in installation art, mixed media, and digital/computer art.
First line
In 1619 a Dutch ship transported twenty West Africans to the British colony of Jamestown on the eastern coast of North America.
From the rear cover
"Beginning with the arts produced in the Colonial period, Dr. Lewis documents and interprets the flow of creative productions of an important segment of the American population. Her book shows that the range of art produced by African American artists covers the entire spectrum of craft productions through painting, sculpture, and printmaking. There is a progressive development of style that not only reflects the trends in particular periods, but reveals an evolving pattern of indigenous qualities that are distinct. The art community in general and the African American community in particular are fortunate to have Dr. Samella Lewis, for she has developed unusual authority in the area of African American art. I know that African American Art and Artists will be of great value educationally and that it will offer a stimulating and rewarding experience to all who have the opportunity to share in its contents."--Jacob Lawrence
