Black art : a cultural history / Richard J. Powell. by Powell, Richard J., 1953- Thames and Hudson, 2021.

ISBN:  9780500204665 (pbk.) Edition:  3rd ed. Description:  359 p. : col. ill. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Previous edition: 2002. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "First published in 2003, and now a classic, this groundbreaking book explores visual representations of black culture across the globe throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. In this revised and updated edtion, renowned art historian Tichard J. Powell applies a thematic, object-based approach to his study of black art and culture to embrace works representing the global scope of the African diaspora. Moving beyond painting and sculpture, this cultural history includes graphic arts, photography, film, digital technologies, and more, with an examination of how mass media has foregrounded issues around black spectatorship, racial sterotypes, and divergent cultural perspectives. Whether discussing the paintings of pioneering African American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner, the video creations of contemporary hip-hop artists, or the afrofuturism of films such as Marvel Studios' 'Black Panther,' this book examines the geo-political and social forces that have shaped a black presence in modern and contemporary visual culture." --Back cover.
