The first chronological survey covering all art forms from colonial times to the present to publish in over a decade, it explores issues of racial identity and representation in artistic expression, while also emphasizing aesthetics and visual analysis to help students develop an understanding and appreciation of African-American art that is informed but not entirely defined by racial identity. Through a carefully selected collection of creative works and accompanying analyses, the text also addresses crucial gaps in the scholarly literature, incorporating women artists from the beginning and including coverage of photography, crafts, and architecture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well as twenty-first century developments. All in all, African American Art: A Visual and Cultural History offers a fresh and compelling look at the great variety of artistic expression found in the African-American community.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-343) and index.This ambitious publication centers indigenous perspectives on traditional artworks from Africa by focusing on the judgments and vocabularies of members of the communities who created and used them. It explores cross-cultural affinities spanning the African continent while respecting local contexts; it also documents an exhibition that is extraordinary in scope and scale. The project's overriding goal is to reconsider Western evaluations of these arts in both aesthetic and financial terms. The volume features nearly 300 works from collections around the world and from the important holdings of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although it emphasizes the sculptural legacy of sub-Saharan cultures from West and Central Africa, it also includes examples of artistic traditions associated with eastern and southern Africa as well as textiles and objects designed for domestic, ritual, and decorative functions.

Includes bibliographical references and index (pages 612-617) and index."This book is the result of a long process dating back to before Europeans christened an entire continent 'America': the reinterpretation, in modern and contemporary culture, of the forms and meanings of ancient civilizations and Indigenous cultures, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. With essays by some thirty international experts, its pages and its more than eight hundred illustrations take us back to the late eighteenth century and across the nineteenth century through scientific expeditions, archaeological discoveries, the formation of collections, and the subsequent development of historicist architecture. The book then looks at Americanist identity, which became more pronounced in the early twentieth century as a result of the reinterpretation of pre-Columbian knowledge and languages-especially in schools of arts and crafts-that revolutionized graphic design, literature, theater, film, music, and fashion. And finally, turning to the inventions of 'ancestral' culture in the twentieth century-when new artists ventured to once again explore the American continent, collected their finds, and documented them in drawings and photographs-the journey of Before América: Original Sources in Modern Culture brings us back to the present day, revealing how the Amerindian paradigm persists around the world: in geometry and color, in the critical or ironic quoting of the past, in Indigenous-based postmodern architecture, in intentional kitsch, in conceptual refinement, and in the sophisticated revitalization of ancient arts and crafts, now full of new and fascinating sociopolitical and aesthetic meanings"--Catalog of an exhibition held at Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, October 6, 2023 to March 10, 2024.
