- The unforgettables : expanding the history of American art / by Buick, Kirsten Pai,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)313535; Eldredge, Charles C.,editor.(CARDINAL)148850;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the past, histories of American art have traditionally highlighted the work of a familiar roster of artists, often white and male. Over time the achievements of others worthy of attention, including numerous women and artists of color, as well as white men, have gone uncelebrated and fallen into obscurity. In this collection of essays, sixty-three scholars from various institutions, specialties, and locales respond to the challenge to nominate one maker deserving remembrance and detail the reasons for their choice. The collection is headed by a preface from editor Charles C. Eldredge, explaining the genesis of the anthology, and an introduction by Dr. Kirsten Pai Buick, promoting the value of recovered reputations and oeuvres in the training of future art experts and audiences"--- Subjects: African American artists; Art, American.; Artists; Women artists;
