| book description |

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. The 395 gorgeous images bring these diverse creators into well-deserved new understanding. • Artists include: Jacob Lawrence, Otto Neals, Onnie Millar, Kehinde Wiley, Dindga McCannon, Melvin Edwards, Dread Scott, Xenobia Bailey, Vivian Schuyler Key, Kay Brown, Russell Frederick, and many more. • Seven chapters highlight overarching themes that connect the artists, besides their Brooklyn connections. • A foreword by former first lady of New York City, Chirlane McCray, marks the importance of Brooklyn's Black creators within the city's art community.
