- Summary
- Drawing inspiration from the imagery of African, Caribbean and Latin American folk art as well as found objects and her own upbringing in a multiracial artist family, Los Angeles artist Alison Saar (born 1956) creates works that reflect on the duality of body and spirit within the context of a larger cultural setting, focusing in particular on black womanhood. In life-size wooden sculptures and mixed-media portraits, Saar crafts complex narratives about diasporic identity. This publication accompanies an exhibition co-organized by the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College in Claremont, California and the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, California. Alongside photographic reproductions of Saar's work, the clothbound catalog contains an interview between Saar and the exhibit's co-curator, never-before-published photographs from the artist's childhood and poetry by Camille Dungy, Harryette Mullen and Evie Shockley. Exhibition: Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, Claremont, USA (01.09.-19.12.2020) / Armory Center for the Art, Pasadena, USA (14.09.2020-14.02.2021).
