Battleground is the first illustrated history of contemporary
African American art. The volume offers an in-depth examination of
twenty-five Black artists, discussing their artworks, practices,
and philosophies, as expressed in their own words. Celeste-Marie
Bernier has done extensive archival work in sources that have not
been studied before, and her research provides a foundation for an
intellectual and cultural history of contemporary African American
artists and art movements from 1990 to the present. The wealth of
quoted material-published interviews, artist statements, and
autobiographical essays-should inform and inspire additional
research in the years to come. Battleground examines the paintings,
drawings, sculptures, and installation, digital, and performance
art produced by twenty-five Black artists living and working in the
United States over the last three decades. The artists studied in
this book include Emma Amos, Radcliffe Bailey, Mary Lee Bendolph,
Chakaia Booker, Beverly Buchanan, Willie Cole, Leonardo Drew, Meta
Vaux Warrick Fuller, Myra Greene, Lyle Ashton Harris, Ronald
Lockett, Whitfield Lovell, Kerry James Marshall, Lorraine O'Grady,
Jefferson Pinder, Debra Priestly, Winfred Rembert, Nellie Mae Rowe,
Alison Saar, Dread Scott, Clarissa T. Sligh, LaShawnda Crowe Storm,
Mickalene Thomas, Nari Ward, and Pat Ward Williams.
