一本图文并茂的散文集聚焦了从20世纪20年代至今，来自华盛顿特区有影响力的黑人艺术家的作品。

 

在20世纪，当现代艺术大多摒弃了以美为唯一追求时，一群来自华盛顿特区的黑人艺术家却将美作为他们艺术创作的核心。本书在杰弗里·C·斯图尔特（Jeffrey C. Stewart）所称的“华盛顿黑人文艺复兴”的背景下，突出了这些有影响力的艺术家，包括大卫·C·德里斯科尔（David C. Driskell）、萨姆·吉廉（Sam Gilliam）、洛伊丝·梅卢·琼斯（Lois Mailou Jones）和阿尔玛·托马斯（Alma Thomas）。书中生动地描绘了特区重要机构以及教育工作者、评论家和收藏家群体的历史，从而深入细致地探讨了从20世纪20年代至今审美辩证法的演变。本书中的15篇散文均基于2017年在国家美术馆举行的一次现场艺术家小组讨论，参与者包括莉莉安·托马斯·伯威尔（Lilian Thomas Burwell）、弗洛伊德·科尔曼（Floyd Coleman）、大卫·C·德里斯科尔、萨姆·吉廉、基思·莫里森（Keith Morrison）、马丁·普瑞尔（Martin Puryear）、西尔维娅·斯诺登（Sylvia Snowden）和卢·斯托瓦尔（Lou Stovall）。

 

A collection of illustrated essays highlights the works of influential Black artists from Washington, DC, from the 1920s to the present

 

In a twentieth century during which modern art largely abandoned beauty as its imperative, a group of Black artists from Washington, DC, made beauty the center of their art making. This book highlights these influential artists, including David C. Driskell, Sam Gilliam, Lois Mailou Jones, and Alma Thomas, in the context of what Jeffrey C. Stewart describes as the Washington Black Renaissance. Vibrant histories of key District institutions and the city’s communities of educators, critics, and collectors animate a nuanced consideration of the evolution of an aesthetic dialectic from the 1920s up to the present day. The 15 essays in the volume are grounded by voices from a live artist panel at the National Gallery of Art in 2017, which included Lilian Thomas Burwell, Floyd Coleman, David C. Driskell, Sam Gilliam, Keith Morrison, Martin Puryear, Sylvia Snowden, and Lou Stovall.
