Summary:

"A fun and fact-filled introduction to the dismissed Black art masters and models who shook up the world. Quietly held within museum and private collections around the world are hundreds of faces of Black men and women, many of their stories unknown. Then, after hundreds of years of Black faces cast as only the subject of the white gaze, a small group of trailblazing Black American painters and sculptors reached national and international fame, setting the stage for the flourishing of Black art in the 1920s and beyond. Captivating and informative, BLK ART is an essential work that elevates a globally dismissed legacy to its proper place"-- Provided by publisher.
