| book description |

Exploring how artists at midcentury addressed the social issues of their dayâ€”from Jacob Lawrence to Elizabeth Catlett, Rose Piper to Charles White Â This timely book surveys the varied ways in which Black American artists responded to the political, social, and economic climate of the United States from the time of the Great Depression through the landmarkÂ Brown v. Board of Education of TopekaÂ decision. Featuring paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by artists including Jacob Lawrence, Horace Pippin, Augusta Savage, Charles White, Elizabeth Catlett, Norman Lewis, Walter Augustus Simon, LoÃ¯s Mailou Jones, and more, the book recognizes the contributions Black artists made to Social Realism and abstraction as they debated the role of art in society and community. Black artists played a vital part in midcentury art movements, and the inclusive policies of government programs like the Works Progress Administration brought more of these artists into mainstream circles. Â In three chapters, Earnestine Jenkins discusses the work of Black artists during this period; the perspective of Black women artists with a focus on the sculpture of Augusta Savage; and the pedagogy of Black American art through the art and teaching of Walter Augustus Simon. Â Published in association with the Dixon Gallery and Gardens Â Exhibition Schedule: Â Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Memphis (October 17, 2021â€“January 2, 2022)
