$40.00

Published in 1979, this 68–page volume of the Hampton University Museum’s Black Art: an International Quarterly (predecessor to The International Review of African American Art) is dedicated to the art of Herbert Gentry, ceramicists Curtis and Yvonne Tucker, Bobby Holcombe and Michael Singletary. In addition, this issue examines storytelling and symbolism in the only two known quilts crafted by Harriet Powers and in traditional Zulu beadwork. Reviewed in this issue are: an exhibition of children’s art at The African American Institute, the Southern Arts Federation’s First Regional Jazz Forum in Atlanta, GA, a showcase of masquerade costumes crafted by artist Lawrence Ajanaku on display at the UCLA Museum, and an exhibition of works by artist Johana at the Arts Consortium in Cincinnati, OH. Included in this issue are many color and black & white photographs of artists’ works, and very insightful commentaries by highly respected art reviewers.
