The Art of James C. Mcmillan: Discovering an African American Master

Shawnya L. Harris

Bennet College Art Gallery

"Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Emma Amos (1937-2020) was a distinguished painter and printmaker. She is best known for her bold and colorful mixed-media paintings that create visual tapestries in which she examines the intersection of race, class, gender and privilege in both the art world and society at large. This survey exhibition and catalogue, published and organized by the Georgia Museum of Art, include approximately 60 works from the beginnings of her career to the end of it, reflecting her experiences as a painter, printmaker, and weaver. Her large-scale canvases often incorporate African fabrics and semiautobiographical content, which are drawn from her personal odyssey as an artist, her interest in icons in art and world history and her sometimes tenuous engagement with these themes as a woman of color"--

Expanding Tradition: Selections from the Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Collection

This exhibition catalogue focuses on formative periods in the career of American sculptor Richard Hunt, whose 130-plus public commissions in more than 24 states have made him a legendary figure in modern and contemporary sculpture. Hunt, whose career has spanned six decades, has also been a formidable presence in redefining the role of public sculpture in the late 20th and early 21st century. His parallel studio career shows his experimentation with a variety of media, methods and formal considerations, but has been underexplored critically as an essential aspect of his later success. The catalogue features full-color full-page illustrations of every work in the exhibition, including welded and cast sculpture dating from the 1950s to the present, models he made after his transition to large-scale public commissions in the late 1960s and lithographs and other works on paper. Curator Shawnya Harris supplies a long essay. The book also includes a detailed chronology of Hunt s career and historic photos.
