Combining a historical study with probing critical analysis, \u003ci\u003eBlack is a Color\u003c\/i\u003e depicts an America marked indelibly by its slavery past, out of which Afro-American contemporary artists have been able to build a singular and engaged body of work to protest against the cultural and political consequences of racial discrimination. In chapters covering notions of \"Black conscience,\" the relation of \"attitude\" to form, and women Afro-American artists, Zabunyan traces the emergence of artistic identity in various forms of representation (painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance). Close readings of the oeuvres of David Hammons, Adrian Piper, and others uncover the place of the body, urban space and memory in the works of Black artists, who are represented with more than 130 images.","brand":"Dis Voir Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781008605335,"sku":"9782914563208","price":2383.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782914563208.webp?v=1778049846","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/black-is-a-color-9782914563208","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
