African American Art Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, and Beyond offers a rich vision twentieth-century visual culture. An essay by Richard Powell sets the stage: his analyses of works by Sargent Johnson, Re?ee Stout, Elder Cortor, and Alma Thomas give the reader a rubric for considering other works that range from Harlem Renaissance to the decades beyond the civil rights era, a period that saw tremendous social and political change. The forty-three artists include here worked in every style current during those decades, from documentary realism to abstraction, from expressionism to postmodern assemblage. They consistently touch universal themes, tut they also evoke specific aspects of the African American experience- the African diaspora, Jazz, and the persistence power of religion. Virginia Mecklenburg assembled engaging entries on the one-hundred paintings, sculptures, and photographs by forty-three black artists that comprise the catalogue of this exhibition. All of the artists in the exhibition are drawn from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's rich collection of African American art. More than half of the featured works including paintings by Benny Andrews, Jacob Lawrence, and Loïs Mailou Jones, and photographs by Roy DeCarava, Gordon Parks, Roland Freeman, and Marilyn Nance, are being exhibited and circulated by the museum for the first time; ten works are recent acquisitions.
