Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Art and Activism of Marion Perkins: "To see reality in a new
light" edited by Julia Perkins, Michael Flug and David Lusenhof
preserves the art of Marion Perkins (1908-1961), a self-taught
sculpture who became one of the most important visual artists in
the Chicago Renaissance. Now fifty years after his death, Perkins
work has inspired a new audience of artists, art enthusiast and art
historians to study the rich cultural history of Chicago's black
artists and writers. This book includes commentary, photography and
documents from the 2009 year-long exhibit held at the Chicago
Public Library's Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection of
Afro-American History and Literature. Third World Press was pleased
to partner with the Harsh Society on the production of this book,
which will serve as the official archival record of the exhibit.On
preserving the art and legacy of Marion Perkins"Through his art,
Marion Perkins imparted social and political commentary on the
injustices and challenges faced by African Americans during the
1930s, 40s, and 50s. This catalogue is a tribute to the man and the
exhibition "'to see reality in a new light' the Art & Activism
of Marion Perkins," which marked the first comprehensive survey of
his legacy and contribution to the landscape of American art."
