"Covering nearly half a century and including the works of some 50 artists in a wide
variety of media, this book looks beyond ideas of musical category to identify the
blues as a visual and cultural idiom that has informed multiple generations of artists--from
Romare Bearden and William Eggleston to David Hammons and David Simon, creator of
the television series The Wire. Generously illustrated with paintings, drawings, photographs,
sculpture, installation, and video stills, and containing a wide range of critical
writing, poetry, and fiction, the catalog explores topics central to the blues--from
articulations of daily life, modes of abstraction and repetition, and self-performance
to ecstatic and cathartic expression and metaphors of memory and the archive. Both
scholarly and unique, this reimagining of all things "blues" will draw audiences from
across cultural and racial boundaries as it celebrates a uniquely American idiom that
has made its mark on nearly every contemporary artistic medium"--
