A leading figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s, she works with found objects, many of which she gathers on her extensive travels to explore themes like symbolic mysticism, feminism, racism, and Eurocentric chauvinism. Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer sheds new light on Saar's unique creative process, her trips around the world, and the diverse ways in which her artworks engage with global histories of travel and forced migration. It presents how the artist?s work conjures the transporting experience of a voyage to a faraway place. This illustrated book draws on original, in-depth interviews with Saar and the companions who accompanied the artist in her travels across four continents over several decades. Essays by leading scholars contextualize Saar's journeys within her broader life and career, as well as how her practice fits into broader traditions, such as scrapbooking, in African American visual culture. In addition to providing this context, this book explores how Saar's assemblage practice both echoes and provides a critical counterpoint to the collecting practices of Gilded Age American art collectors like Isabella Stewart Gardner. Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished material including almost thirty travel sketchbooks and two dozen finished assemblages, Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer provides a fresh look at a groundbreaking American artist while offering a timely social history of the impact of travel on the African American experience. 600 10 $a Saar, Betye $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Saar, Betye $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Saar, Betye $x Travel. 600 17 $a Saar, Betye. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00048936 650 0 $a Assemblage (Art) $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African American women artists $z United States $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Saar, Betye, $e artist. 700 1 $a Greenwald, Diana, $d 1989- $e contributor to text. $e contributor to text. 700 1 $a Best, Makeda, $d 1975- 700 1 $a Williams, Stephanie Sparling. 710 2 $a Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F618EDD856B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
