Rediscover 100 Black artists that history has obscured, and transform and diversify your existing ideas of art. The world of visual art is changing fast. After forever favoring predominantly white, male artists over almost anyone else, museums, galleries, and critics are finally waking up to the vast contribution made by Black artists. But how many Black artists can you name? And how many of them have received the recognition they deserve?Image and Belief brings together 100 significant artists from across the Black Diaspora and over 200 years of history. Discover the nineteenth-century enslaved potter whose work is only now breaking auction records, or the relatively unknown painters and sculptors who had their own take on the key movements of modern art. And who are the vital contemporary Black artists looking afresh at the imbalances of the past or picturing bold visions of the future? Alongside texts on each of these 100 artists are additional concise contributions from four leading curators and writers focusing on portraiture, film, photography, curating, and abstraction, each from a Black critic's perspective.Embrace a new perspective with this detailed history of Black artists, offering a fresh, alternative, and re-invigorating look at our visual culture. Written by two leading curators and writers, this is a guided exploration and celebration of evocative artwork from the past 200 years.
