A powerful reframing of the study of Black art and the historical
and contemporary status of Black lives Perceptual Drift offers a
new interpretive model drawing on four key works of Black art in
the Cleveland Museum of Art's collection. In its chapters, leading
Black scholars from multiple disciplines deploy materialist
approaches to challenge the limits of canonic art history, rooted
as it is in social and racial inequities. The opening essay by Key
Jo Lee introduces the concept of "perceptual drift": a means of
exploring the matter of Blackness, or Blackness as matter in art
and scholarship. Christina Sharpe examines Rho I (1977) by Jack
Whitten; Lee explores Lorna Simpson's Cure/Heal (1992); Robin Coste
Lewis analyzes Ellen Gallagher's Bouffant Pride (2003); and Erica
Moiah James considers Simone Leigh's Las Meninas (2019). This
approach seeks to transform how art history is written, introduce
readers to complex objects and theoretical frameworks, illuminate
meanings and untold histories, and simultaneously celebrate and
open new entry points into Black art. Distributed for the Cleveland
Museum of Art
