This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the first major
museum retrospective of the painter Norman Lewis (1909-1979). Lewis
was the sole African American artist of his generation who became
committed to issues of abstraction at the start of his career and
continued to explore them over its entire trajectory. His art
derived inspiration from music (jazz and classical) and nature
(seasonal change, plant forms, the sea). Also central to his work
were the dramatic confrontations of the civil rights movement, in
which he was an active participant among the New York art scene.
Bridging the Harlem Renaissance, Abstract Expressionism, and
beyond, Lewis is a crucial figure in American abstraction whose
reinsertion into the discourse further opens the field for
recognition of the contributions of artists of color. Bringing
much-needed attention to Lewis's output and significance in the
history of American art, Procession is a milestone in Lewis
scholarship and a vital resource for future study of the artist and
abstraction in his period. Published in association with
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Exhibition
