Note(s) : "What is "Black art"? This question was posed and answered time and time again between
1960 and 1980 by artists, curators and critics deeply affected by this turbulent period
of radical social and political upheaval in America. Rather than answering in one
way, they argued for radically different ideas of what "Black art" meant. Across newspapers
and magazines, catalogs, pamphlets, interviews, public talks and panel discussions,
a lively debate emerged between artists and others to address profound questions of
how Black artists should or should not deal with politics, about what audiences they
should address and inspire, where they should try to exhibit, how their work should
be curated, and whether there was or was not such a category as "Black art" in the
first place. Conceived as a reader connected to the landmark exhibition Soul of a
Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, which shone a light on the vital contributions
made by Black artists over two decades, this anthology collects over 150 texts from
the artists, critics, curators and others who sought to shape and define the art of
their time. Exhaustively researched and edited by exhibition curator Mark Godfrey,
who provides the substantial introduction, and Allie Biswas, included are rare and
out-of-print texts from artists and writers, as well as texts published for the first
time ever"
