Harris traces black artists' responses to racist imagery across two centuries, from early works by Henry O. Tanner african american art work and Archibald J. Motley Jr., in which African Americans are depicted with dignity, to contemporary works by Kara Walker african american art work and Michael Ray Charles, in which derogatory images are recycled to controversial effect. The work of these african american art work and other artists--such as John Biggers, Jeff Donaldson, Betye Saar, Juan Logan, african american art work and Camille Billops--reflects a wide range of perspectives. Examined together, they offer compelling insight into the profound psychological impact of visual stereotypes on the African American community. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
