The International Review of African American Art, Vol. 7 No. 4 (1987)

Published in 1987, this 64–page volume of the Hampton University Museum’s The International Review of African American Art is dedicated to the art and rituals of Aboriginal Australians, to the Brandywine Printmaking Workshop, and to the artworks of several artists. Covered in this issue are the works and careers of: AfriCOBRA artist James Phillips, who is known by a small but broadly–based group of artists, art consumers, and art experts, but is denied the institutional access that would place him within the majority’s view; Dutch painter Nola Hatterman whose portraits celebrated the strength and dignity of Black people in Suriname, which for many was a revelation; Lamidi Fakeye, who adapts the skills, forms, and iconography of traditional Yoruba carving to a modern context; and Edna Manley, a Jamaican artist, who became a pioneer of art forms and expressions, founder of the Jamaica School of Art and a motivating force to others in all the arts. Included in this issue are many color and black & white photographs of artists’ works, and very insightful commentaries by highly respected art reviewers.
