Charting the Afrofuturist imaginary in African American art : the black female fantastic / by Hamilton, Elizabeth Carmel,author.(CARDINAL)856461; Routledge (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)764271;
"This book examines Afrofuturism in African American art, focusing specifically on images of black women and how those images expand the discourse of representation in visual culture of the United States. This volume defines a visual language of Afrofuturism that includes materiality, temporality, and black liberation. Elizabeth Hamilton discusses the visual progenitors of Afrofuturism. In the artworks of Pierre Bennu, Sanford Biggers, Alison Saar, Mequitta Ahuja, Robert Pruitt, Renee Cox, Dawolu Jabari Anderson, Alma Thomas, and Harriet Powers, the fantastic narratives of Afrofuturism are uncovered through in-depth case studies. These case studies engage with Afrofuturism as a black feminist visual theory that helps to unburden the images of black women from the stereotypical visual scripts that are so common in contemporary visual culture of the United States. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, American literature, gender studies, popular culture, and African American studies"--Includes bibliographical references and index.

Souls grown deep like the rivers : Black artists from the American South / by Lampkins-Fielder, Raina,curator,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)876944; Anderson, Maxwell Lincoln,writer of preface.(CARDINAL)223663; Bray, Rebecca,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)502607; Rüger, Axel,curator.(CARDINAL)119674; Salter, Rebecca,1955-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)884297; Yau, Emma,curator,contributor.; AAC Artbooks,distributor.; Distributed Art Publishers,distributor.(CARDINAL)784868; Royal Academy of Arts (Great Britain),host institution.(CARDINAL)151149;
Includes bibliographical references and index."For generations, Black artists from the American South have forged a unique art tradition. Working in near isolation from established practices, they have created masterpieces in clay, driftwood, roots, soil, recycled and cast-off objects that articulate America's painful past--the inhuman practice of enslavement, the cruel segregationist policies of the Jim Crow era, and institutionalized racism. Their works date from the early 20th century to today and respond to issues ranging from economic inequality, oppression and social marginalization, to sexuality, the influence of place and ancestral memory. Among the sculptures, paintings, reliefs and drawings included here are works by Hawkins Bolden, Thornton Dial, Sam Doyle, Bessie Harvey, Lonnie Holley, Ronald Lockett, Joe Minter, Nellie Mae Rowe, Mary T. Smith, Henry and Georgia Speller, Mose Tolliver, Charles Williams, and Purvis Young. Also featured are the celebrated quiltmakers of Gee's Bend, Alabama, among them Mary Lee Bendolph, Marlene Bennett Jones, Loretta Pettway and Martha Jane Pettway."--
