Exploring how artists at midcentury addressed the social issues of
their day-from Jacob Lawrence to Elizabeth Catlett, Rose Piper to
Charles White This timely book surveys the varied ways in which
Black American artists responded to the political, social, and
economic climate of the United States from the time of the Great
Depression through the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of
Topeka decision. Featuring paintings, sculptures, and works on
paper by artists including Jacob Lawrence, Horace Pippin, Augusta
Savage, Charles White, Elizabeth Catlett, Norman Lewis, Walter
Augustus Simon, Lois Mailou Jones, and more, the book recognizes
the contributions Black artists made to Social Realism and
abstraction as they debated the role of art in society and
community. Black artists played a vital part in midcentury art
movements, and the inclusive policies of government programs like
the Works Progress Administration brought more of these artists
into mainstream circles. In three chapters, Earnestine Jenkins
discusses the work of Black artists during this period; the
perspective of Black women artists with a focus on the sculpture of
Augusta Savage; and the pedagogy of Black American art through the
art and teaching of Walter Augustus Simon. Published in association
with the Dixon Gallery and Gardens Exhibition Schedule: Dixon
Gallery and Gardens, Memphis (October 17, 2021-January 2, 2022)
