A landmark work of art history: lavishly illustrated and extraordinary for its thoroughness, A History of African-American Artists — conceived, researched, and written by the great American artist Romare Bearden with journalist Harry Henderson, who completed the work after Bearden's death in 1988 — gives a conspectus of African-American art from the late eighteenth century to the present. It examines the lives and careers of more than fifty signal African-American artists, and the relation of their work to revailing artistic, social, and political trends both in America and throughout the world.
