We need more books like this because we are neglected in the collegiate and museum text used in schools.
Not all exceptional art is of European origin
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Having read this book years ago, its focus is not only on the art produced by persons of African origin, but the history of social attitudes toward persons of any color and how it sterotyped persons based on color. It is not just a history of the evolution of Black artists but the history of prejudice and opinions which had nothing to do with the talents of the artists. Art is a product of people and is not exclusive to a particular group. In order to develope not only a wider understanding of art as a whole, this book enlarges and fills in the "missing links " in the appreciation of art as a whole.To become aware of artists, where ever they come from this excelent book fills a void often overlooked by historians who have only focused on the artists of Europen and caucasian origin. Art, again, is a talent of people and not just a color.
