Series Title:
Artists of the American Mosaic
Reviews:
"Jegede (art, Miami U., Ohio) profiles 66 black artists from the African Diaspora who have worked and lived in the US, and in many continued to do so. They work in a diverse array of media, he says, and manifest an even more diverse range of ideas, and have many profound contributions to world art and enriched the creative fabric of American culture, but who have attracted little attention either from scholars or from exhibition and gallery professionals. Eight pages of color plates illustrate, along with monochrome photographs of many of the artists."

"
Encyclopedia of African American Artists
provides a solid overview of this important facet of the American art world and has a place in most academic libraries that support art programs as well as in large public libraries."

Description:
African American heritage is rich with stories of family, community, faith, love, adaptation and adjustment, grief, and suffering, all captured in a variety of media by artists intimately familiar with them. From traditional media of painting and artists such as Horace Pippin and Faith Ringgold, to photography of Gordon Parks, and new media of Sam Gilliam and Martin Puryear (installation art), the African American experience is reflected across generations and works. Eight pages of color plates and black and white images throughout the book introduce both favorite and new artists to students and adult readers alike.
