- Summary
- "This resource assembles 129 Black artists and their magnificent works, highlighting their important contributions to art worldwide. Beginning with the Brooklyn-based artists active during the Works Progress Administration years and continuing with artists approaching their prime today, the collection spans 80 years of art. From highly publicized artists to rising talent, each is tied to Brooklyn in their own way. Artists include Jacob Lawrence, Vivian Schuyler Key, Kay Brown, Melvin Edwards, Onaway Millar, Otto Neals, Xenobia Bailey, Russell Frederick, Dindga McCannon, Dread Scott, Kehinde Wiley, and many more. Seven chapters highlight overarching themes that connect the artists, besides their Brooklyn connections. A foreword by New York City's "first lady", Chirlane McCray, marks the importance of Brooklyn's black creators within the city's art community"--Jacket flap.
