Testimony (Hardcover)

Represented here are 27 self-taught Southern black artists such as Thornton Dial Sr, Thornton Dial Jr, Mose Tolliver, Ronald Lockett, Lonnie Holley, Mart T. Smith, Bessie Harvey and Purvis Young, working in a variety of media including painting, assemblage and sculpture. This book, presenting this body of contemporary work, serves as testimony to the continuing struggle for social justice, cultural identity and spiritual and personal fulfilment experienced by African Americans in the South.;The essays offer critical vantage points, and short biographies of the artists provide insights into their art-making. The book is organized around six themes that run through the work: historical events, allegorical animals, religious scenes, spiritual and protective messages, and observation of daily life.
