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, Reńee 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.
