Curator Robert Hobbs wrote extended essays on her work for this exhibition, and also for her show later that year at the Kunstverein Hannover. Because these essays have not been distributed in the US and remain among the most in-depth and essential investigations of her work, Karma is now republishing them in this new clothbound volume. Among the most celebrated artists of the past three decades, with over 93 solo exhibitions to her credit, including a major survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Walker is known for her tough, critical, provocative and highly imaginative representations of African Americans and whites reaching back to antebellum times. In his analysis, Hobbs looks at the five main sources of her art: blackface Americana, Harlequin romances, Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection, Stone Mountain's racist tourist attraction and the minstrel tradition. 600 10 $a Walker, Kara Elizabeth $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Walker, Kara Elizabeth $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a African Americans in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85002006 650 0 $a Black people in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85014706 650 0 $a Slavery in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96011980 650 0 $a Race in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2006007938 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9593F4D2851711EEB4A9908744ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
