I am indebted to the publisher and the managing editor of The International Review of African American Art, Jeanne Zeidler and Juliette Bowles respectively, for inviting me to be the guest editor for three issues which focus on the artistic production of African American Artists of the 19th century.

In the last twenty–five years, there have been a number of exciting and much–celebrated discoveries about some of these artists and traditions. What makes the future of African American art history even more exciting and the work even more crucial, is how much remains to be done. It has been my good fortune to become acquainted with a number of scholars whose dedicated research and commitment to excellence are daily enlarging our understanding of this rich period of African American cultural history.

It was my goal then, to present the works of some of these scholars to acquaint the reader with the most recent analysis of artists and traditions both familiar and newly–discovered, and foster the kind of thoughtful debate that is so critical to the growth of this discipline.
