It offers a fresh perspective on her abstract practice from the late 1960s through the early 1980s--a period in which debates about Black Power, feminism, and modernist abstraction intersected in uniquely contentious yet generative ways. Sarah Louise Cowan not only asserts Pindell's rightful place within the canon but also recenters dominant historical narratives to reveal the profound and overlooked roles that Black women artists have played in shaping modernist abstraction. Pindell's career acts as a springboard for a broader study of how artists have responded during periods of heightened social activism and used abstraction to convey political urgency. With works that drew on Ghanaian textiles, administrative labor, cosmetics, and postminimalism, Pindell deployed abstraction in deeply personal ways that resonated with collective African diasporic and women's practices. In her groundbreaking analysis, Cowan argues that such work advanced Black feminist modernisms, diverse creative practices that unsettle racist and sexist logics. 600 10 $a Pindell, Howardena, $d 1943- $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000078917493 650 0 $a African American women artists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Art, Abstract. 650 7 $a ART / American / African American & Black. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Pindell, Howardena, $d 1943- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00185973 650 7 $a African American women artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799474 650 7 $a Art, Abstract. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815850 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9DDC8A6AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
