| book description |

The first survey of Joe Overstreet, abstract painter of the Black Arts Movement and forecaster of Afrofuturism Â This groundbreaking survey of abstract paintings by Joe Overstreet (1933â€“2019) recognizes his energizing presence in the Black Arts Movement and situates his socially engaged and spatially challenging work within todayâ€™s crucial redefinition of the modernist canon. Overstreetâ€™s Flight Patterns series, created from 1969 to 1973, is at the center of this book. These intensely colored acrylic-on-canvas works are hung with ropes tethering them to the ceiling, floor, wallsâ€”a vital exploration of geometries and free-form installation. In addition, the book includes new studies of Overstreetâ€™s shaped canvas constructions of the 1960s and his mammoth Facing the Door of No Return works, quickly painted in a rush of inspiration after his 1992 trip to Senegal and encounter with the embarkation point of Africans shipped for enslavement in the New World. Essays on Overstreetâ€™s shaped canvases, Flight Patterns, and the Facing the Door of No Return paintings accompany full-color photographs of the works, and a detailed chronology places Overstreetâ€™s career in its time. Â Distributed for the Menil Collection Â Exhibition Schedule: Â The Menil Collection, Houston, TX (January 24â€“July 13, 2025) Â Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson (November 1, 2025â€“January 25, 2026)
