A History of African-American Artists: From 1792 to the Present by Romare Bearden and Harry Henderson traces the development of African American art from the late eighteenth century through the modern era. The book situates artists within their social and historical contexts, showing how slavery, segregation, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Civil Rights Movement shaped both artistic production and opportunity. Combining biography, history, and visual analysis, Bearden presents African American artists as central contributors to American art history rather than a separate or marginal tradition.
Condition: Ex-library book. Some shelf wear and tears on inner covers but pages are still in clean condition.
