This beautiful book, companion publication to the exhibition of the
same name, presents a complex overview of the life and career of
the pioneering African American artist Henry O. Tanner (1859-1937).
Recognized as the patriarch of African American artists, Tanner
forged a path to international success, powerfully influencing
younger black artists who came after him. Following a preface by
David Driskell, the essays in this book - written by international
scholars including Alan Braddock, Michael Leja, Jean-Claude Lesage,
Richard Powell, Marc Simpson, Tyler Stovall, and Helene Valance -
explore many facets of Tanner's life, including his upbringing in
post-Civil War Philadelphia, his background as the son of a bishop
in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and his role as the
first major academically trained African American artist.
Additional essays discuss Tanner's expatriate life in France, his
depictions of the Holy Land and North Africa, and the scientific
and technical innovations reflected in his oeuvre. Edited and
introduced by Anna O. Marley, this volume expands our understanding
of Tanner's place in art history, showing that his status as a
painter was deeply influenced by his race but not decided by it.
Contributors include: Brian Baade; Alan Braddock; Marcus Bruce;
Adrienne L. Childs; Robert Cozzolino; David Driskell; Amber
Kerr-Allison; Michael Leja; Jean-Claude Lesage; Anna O. Marley;
Olivier Meslay; Richard Powell; Marc Simpson; Tyler Stovall; and,
Helene Valance.
