As a poet, her work was edited by Toni Morrison and she is a recipient of the Carl Sandburg Prize. As a fiction writer, she was edited by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and her first historical novel, Sally Hemings (1979) was a bestseller. But Chase-Riboud trained as a visual artist, primarily as a sculptor, and her large installations made of fabric and bronze are powerful, with references to the human figure, her travels in North Africa and China, and the American Civil Rights Movement. She and Bettye Saar were the first African-American women to exhibit at the Whitney Museum of Art, and her work is in many major collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and the Centre Pompidou. This book, framed as a memoir, is composed of over forty years' worth of letters Chase-Riboud wrote to her beloved mother, and which she found in her mother's house around the time of her death. The letters begin in 1957, while the artist was a student in Paris, and continue through 1991. As Chase-Riboud writes in the introduction, "This is not autobiography, nor biography, nor memoir nor fiction but a strange hybrid mixture of disparate and even contradictory narratives out of which portraits of the two of us emerge, separate yet united and indivisible.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Chase-Riboud, Barbara $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Artists $z United States $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Women artists $z United States $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a African American artists $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Artists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women artists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American artists $v Biography. 655 7 $a Personal correspondence. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 3 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025211.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230104010311.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221206012516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1C4E0E6753311EDBCB8DF3E50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
