Equally engaged with social and political histories, and the history of art, Colescott, Marshall, and Thomas have created works that at times poignantly and satirically critique dominant narratives and posit alternatives. By considering these artists together, this thought-provoking book expands our understanding of contemporary history painting, a genre first defined during the 17th century and known for didactic paintings that often depicted Biblical or mythological subjects, and expressed the tastes and narratives of a ruling class. Colescott, Marshall, and Thomas marry appreciation of these traditional forms of representation to a deep understanding of contemporary American culture to create insightful works that disrupt historic narratives and read canonic art history against the grain.00Exhibition: Seattle Art Museum, USA (15.02-13.05.2018). 600 10 $a Colescott, Robert, $d 1925-2009 $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Marshall, Kerry James, $d 1955- $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Thomas, Mickalene, $d 1971- $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African American painting $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African American painting $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a History painting $z United States $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African Americans in art $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Manchanda, Catharina, $e editor. 700 1 $a Sims, Lowery Stokes, $e writer of added commentary. 700 1 $a Francis, Jacqueline, $e writer of added commentary. 700 12 $a Colescott, Robert, $d 1925-2009. $t Paintings. $k Selections. 700 12 $a Marshall, Kerry James, $d 1955- $t Paintings. $k Selections. 700 12 $a Thomas, Mickalene, $d 1971- $t Paintings. $k Selections. 710 2 $a Seattle Art Museum, $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A12D5C38580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
