The inventive and irrefutably contemporary nature of these artists? paintings, sculptures, and works on paper defied typical Western narratives about African art being isolated in a ?primitive? past. Providing an unprecedented examination of the complex connections between modern African artists and American patrons amid the interlocking histories of civil rights, decolonization, and the Cold War, this fascinating volume reveals a transcontinental network of artists, curators, and scholars that challenged assumptions about African art in the United States and encouraged American engagement with African artists as contemporaries. 650 0 $a Art, African $x Appreciation $z United States $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Artists $z Africa $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Africans $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Africa $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $x African influences $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 650 7 $a Africans $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799955 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 700 1 $a Lathrop, Perrin M., $e editor. 710 2 $a Fisk University. $b University Galleries, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Phillips Collection, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Taft Museum of Art, $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9DD5D8096FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
