Dungy -- Still waiting / Harryette Mullen -- Autobiographical timeline / Alison Saar -- Exhibition checklist -- Contributor biographies.Drawing inspiration from the imagery of African, Caribbean and Latin American folk art as well as found objects and her own upbringing in a multiracial artist family, Los Angeles artist Alison Saar (born 1956) creates works that reflect on the duality of body and spirit within the context of a larger cultural setting, focusing in particular on black womanhood. In life-size wooden sculptures and mixed-media portraits, Saar crafts complex narratives about diasporic identity. This publication accompanies an exhibition co-organized by the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College in Claremont, California and the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, California. Alongside photographic reproductions of Saar's work, the clothbound catalog contains an interview between Saar and the exhibit's co-curator, never-before-published photographs from the artist's childhood and poetry by Camille Dungy, Harryette Mullen and Evie Shockley.

Includes bibliographical references.Artwork by Romare Bearden, Robert H. Colescott, Ellen Gallagher, Mildred Howard, Alison Saar, Wangechi Mutu, Lorna Simpson, Michalene Thomas, and Kara Walker."Engaging a wide range of experiences and artistic practices, the nine artists featured in this exhibition challenge the controlling images of Black women that continue to pervade our culture and influence perceptions. Their artworks jar loose expectations and replace simplistic narratives with nuanced, sophisticated meditations on contemporary identity. The essays in this publication similarly present a variety of perspectives on the artworks and the ideas they present. Contributions from a diverse group of accomplished scholars, activists, artists, and writers provide multiple viewpoints from which to consider the exhibition and the questions it presents. Together, the artists' works and the author's voices reveal the complexity of identity, the necessity for self-determination, and the power of art to stimulate dialogue."--Publisher's description

Matilsky."Family Legacies celebrates the remarkable art of Betye Saar and her daughters, Lezley and Alison Saar. It explores the sharing of artistic and spiritual traditions within a family and shows how to generations of women use art to express changing ideas about gender, race, and ethnicity. The formal and thematic parallels in this family's work reveal a fascinating glimpse into their creative dynamic. Each artist's response to contemporary social issues - identity, sexuality, spirituality, the female body, and stereotypes - emerges through creations that also possess great beauty."--BOOK JACKET.

Includes bibliographical references.Mirror, Mirror collects the vast body of prints made by Los Angeles-based artist Alison Saar (born 1956) over the past 35 years. Addressing issues of race, gender and spirituality, her lithographs, etchings and woodblock prints are evocations of the sculptures for which she is renowned. Saar undertakes printmaking with the same tangible approach to unconventional materials and methods found in her sculpture. Cast-off objects such as old chair backs and found ceiling tin become the foundations for etching or lithography plates. Carved wooden panels used for wood block prints echo similar techniques established in her sewn wooden forms. In addition to printing on paper, Saar also employs a variety of used fabrics like vintage handkerchiefs, old shop rags and antique sugar sacks that are layered, cut, sewn and collaged--empowering the content of the image while resisting the flat repetitive nature of the medium.
