Inhaltsangabe

<div>Self-taught African American artist Thornton Dial (born 1928) is an acclaimed, original artist. This tribute to his work includes nearly 150 images and focuses on his post-9/11 output, including a haunting suite inspired by that event, homages to his famous friends the Gee&#8217;s Bend quiltmakers, and pieces drawing on his memories of an impoverished Southern childhood. The book also has a rich overview of Dial's pre-9/11 work. An in-depth biography and contextualizing essays by leading art historians shed new light on Dial's life and work.</div>

Reseña del editor

With illuminating essays by leading critics and art historians, an in-depth biography of the artist, and explorations of the southern black art traditions that underlie the artist's visual vocabulary, Thornton Dial in the 21st Century maps new terrain for the study of American art. Reproduced here are 118 recent paintings and sculptures - virtually all of the artist's output from this five-year period - as well as nearly 30 works on paper and an overview of Dial's work from before 2000.
