The girl in the middle : a recovered history of the American West / by Sandweiss, Martha A., author.(CARDINAL)136577;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A haunting image of an unnamed Native child and a recovered story of the American WestIn 1868, celebrated Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner traveled to Fort Laramie to document the federal government's treaty negotiations with the Lakota and other tribes of the northern plains. Gardner, known for his iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln and his visceral pictures of the Confederate dead at Antietam, posed six federal peace commissioners with a young Native girl wrapped in a blanket. The hand-labeled prints carefully name each of the men, but the girl is never identified. As The Girl in the Middle goes in search of her, it draws readers into the entangled lives of the photographer and his subjects.Martha A. Sandweiss paints a riveting portrait of the turbulent age of Reconstruction and westward expansion. She follows Gardner from his birthplace in Scotland to the American frontier, as his dreams of a utopian future across the Atlantic fall to pieces. She recounts the lives of William S. Harney, a slave-owning Union general who earned the Lakota name "Woman Killer," and Samuel F. Tappan, an abolitionist who led the investigation into the Sand Creek massacre. And she identifies Sophie Mousseau, the girl in Gardner's photograph, whose life swerved in unexpected directions as American settlers pushed into Indian Country and the federal government confined Native peoples to reservations.Spinning a spellbinding historical tale from a single enigmatic image, The Girl in the Middle reveals how the American nation grappled with what kind of country it would be as it expanded westward in the aftermath of the Civil War"--

Envisioning emancipation : Black Americans and the end of slavery / by Willis, Deborah,1948-(CARDINAL)172317; Krauthamer, Barbara,1967-(CARDINAL)316146;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-216) and index.The Emancipation Proclamation -- Representing the appeal -- A collective portrait of the Civil War -- Legacies of emancipation."In this pioneering book, renowned photographic historian Deborah Willis and historian of slavery Barbara Krauthamer have amassed nearly 150 photographs--some never before published--from the antebellum days of the 1850s through the New Deal era of the 1930s. The authors vividly display the seismic impact of emancipation on African Americans born before and after the Proclamation, providing a perspective on freedom and slavery and a way to understand the photos as documents of engagement, action, struggle, and aspiration ... From photos of the enslaved on plantations and African American soldiers and camp workers in the Union Army to Juneteenth celebrations, slave reunions, and portraits of black families and workers in the American South, the images in this book challenge perceptions of slavery. They show not only what the subjects emphasized about themselves but also the ways Americans of all colors and genders opposed slavery and marked its end."--Jacket.

Kerry James Marshall : history of painting / by Marshall, Kerry James,1955-artist,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)267382; Cole, Teju,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)352988; Foster, Hal,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)164853; David Zwirner LTD,host institution.(CARDINAL)853310;
Includes bibliographical references.Preface / Kerry James Marshall -- Shadow cabinet / Teju Cole -- Underpainting, a real allegory / Hal Foster -- Paintings -- Afterword / Kerry James Marshall."With a career spanning almost three decades, Kerry James Marshall is well known for his paintings depicting actual and imagined events from African-American history. His complex and multilayered portrayals of youths, interiors, nudes, housing estate gardens, land- and seascapes synthesize different traditions and genres, while seeking to counter stereotypical representations of black people in society. Marshall also produces drawings in the style of comic books, sculptural installations, photography, and video. As with his paintings, these works accumulate various stylistic influences to address the historiography of black art, while at the same time drawing attention to the fact that they are not inherently partisan because their subjects are black."--

What is African art? : a short history / by Probst, Peter,author.(CARDINAL)854687;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-260) and index.Introduction -- Forming a field: colonial collecting, racial omissions, and national rivalries -- Celebrating form: from primitive to primitivism -- Creating visibility and value: photography and its effects -- Discovering the African artist: tradition and tribality in the post-Cold War era -- Acknowledging the contemporary: new forms, new actors -- Extending the horizon: Africa in the Americas -- Intervening the canon: the postmodern, the popular, and the authentic -- Challenging representation: postcolonial critique and curation -- Undoing the empire: duress, defiance, and decolonial futures -- Epilogue."What do we have in mind when we talk about African art? This book examines the shifting answers to that question. Fluidly written, it is the first book to explore the full historical arc of the invention and development of the category of "African art" and the academic field of African art history. It is meant to be an accessible guide through the history of the field, showing us how it started and has changed from its contested beginnings until today. Peter Probst helps the reader understand how Africanists have continuously filled the notion of African art with new meanings and why these shifts manifest wider societal transformations. The book covers three key stages in the field's history, starting with the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth century. Here Probst focuses on museums, processes of collecting, photography's role in disseminating visual culture, and how early anthropologists and art historians-and artists-imbued collected objects with values that spoke to scientific debates about the evolution and diffusion of culture prominent at the time. Probst then explores the rise of Black Atlantic studies in the 1970s and 1980s, when African art history fell under the gaze of African American critique and saw an explosion of interest in contemporary African art. Finally, he examines the postcolonial reconfiguration of the field driven by questions of heritage, reparation, and the "crisis of representation." Probst believes that if the study of African art is to move in productive new directions, we must look to how the field is evolving in Africa for new models of inquiry"-- ǂc Provided by publisher.
