This long-awaited volume celebrates the work of Kerry James
Marshall, one of America's greatest living painters. Born before
the passage of the Civil Rights Act, in Birmingham, Alabama, and
witness to the Watts riots in 1965, Marshall has long been an
inspired and imaginative chronicler of the African American
experience. Best known for large-scale interiors, landscapes, and
portraits featuring powerful black figures, Marshall explores
narratives of African American history from slave ships to the
present and draws upon his deep knowledge of art history from the
Renaissance to twentieth-century abstraction, as well as other
sources such as the comic book and the muralist tradition. With
luscious color and brushstrokes and highly detailed patterning, his
direct and intimate scenes of black middle-class life conjure a
wide range of emotions, resulting in powerful paintings that
confront the position of African Americans throughout American
history. Richly illustrated, this monumental book features essays
by noted curators as well as the artist, and more than 100
paintings from throughout the artist's career arranged thematically
by subject: history painting; beauty, as expressed through the
nude, portraiture, and self-portraiture; landscape; religion; and
the politics of black nationalism.
