A book highlighting the work of pioneering Black printmaker, sculptor, and activist Elizabeth Catlett. Accomplished printmaker and sculptor, avowed feminist, and lifelong activist Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) built a remarkable career around intersecting passions for formal rigor and social justice. This book, accompanying a major traveling retrospective, offers a revelatory look at the artist and her nearly century-long life, highlighting overlooked works alongside iconic masterpieces. Catlett’s activism and artistic expression were deeply connected, and she protested the injustices of her time throughout her life. Her work in printmaking and sculpture draws on organic abstraction, the modernism of the United States and Mexico, and African art to center the experiences of Black and Mexican women. Catlett attended Howard University, studied with the painter Grant Wood, joined the Harlem artistic community, and worked with a leftist graphics workshop in Mexico, where she lived in exile after the US accused her of communism and barred her re-entry into her home country. The book’s essays address a range of topics, including Catlett’s early development as an artist-activist, the impact of political exile on her work, her pedagogical legacy, her achievement as a social realist printmaker, her work with the arts community of Chicago’s South Side, and the diverse influences that shaped her practice.

A revelatory reassessment of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century Charles White (1918–1979) is best known for bold, large-scale paintings and drawings of African Americans, meticulously executed works that depict human relationships and socioeconomic struggles with a remarkable sensitivity. This comprehensive study offers a much-needed reexamination of the artist’s career and legacy. With handsome reproductions of White’s finest paintings, drawings, and prints, the volume introduces his work to contemporary audiences, reclaims his place in the art-historical narrative, and stresses the continuing relevance of his insistent dedication to producing positive social change through art. Tracing White’s career from his emergence in Chicago to his mature practice as an artist, activist, and educator in New York and Los Angeles, leading experts provide insights into White’s creative process, his work as a photographer, his political activism and interest in history, the relationship between his art and his teaching, and the importance of feminism in his work. A preface by Kerry James Marshall addresses White’s significance as a mentor to an entire generation of practitioners and underlines the importance of this largely overlooked artist.

St. James's unique biographical dictionary provides information concerning approximately 400 artists, nearly 300 of whom were living at the time of publication. Although the focus is on "fine artists"--sculptors, painters, and printmakers--the index groups artists by medium, listing photographers, illustrators, ceramists, performance artists, filmmakers, quilt makers, wood-carvers, and fiber artists. An index of nationalities lists 26 groups from Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, but US artists predominate (approximately 300); Nigerians and Jamaicans are the second largest groups, with 16 listings each. The signed entries profile the artist and list the artist's exhibitions, the institutions holding the artist's work, and the artist's publications. Many entries provide photographs of the artists or examples of their work. All illustrations are black-and-white reproductions and are indexed separately. A four-part subject bibliography covers general works and works on African, African American, and Caribbean art. Profiles of some 80 advisers and contributors constitute the last section. College and university libraries and large public libraries need this survey of black artists. Copyright 1999 American Library Association.
