DAVIES, CAROL BOYCE, ed.
Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora: Origins, Experiences and Culture.
ABC-CLIO, 2008.
3 vols. 1110 pp. Marked by a more than usual indifference to the visual arts, entries of erratic quality and less than desirable levels of research or scholarship. The essay on African Diaspora Art was allotted 17 pages to cover a period of 35,000 years and makes a courageous attempt to do so. It is not supported by any entries on individual artists, and many of the artists mentioned are not in the index. The entry is also plagued with inexcusable misspellings of numerous artists' names. The essay on Diaspora photography is also beset by the requirement of inappropriate brevity; the author desperately spends most of the allotted space listing the names of a fairly subjective selection of photographers, some with birth dates, others not. Other essays are depressingly vacuous - the essay on the Black Arts Movement, allotted 2 pages, spends only 31 lines on vague remarks about the movement which the reader is led to think is attributable to events that took place in the Nile Valley thousands of years before. What can you say about a book that devotes more space to rap and hip-hop than to Barbados. Not a book worth consulting. 4to (10.3 x 7.3 in.), cloth.

Twentieth-Century American Art.
Oxford University Press, 2002.
288 pp., 151 illus. (including 91 in color). Although it includes a chapter on "Feminist art and Black art," this by no means summarizes the level of inclusion of black artists at every point throughout the text. There are many glaring omissions (John Biggers, Mildred Howard, Lois Mailou Jones, Martin Puryear, Bob Thompson, etc.) and some odd summary comments (for example, Norman Lewis's work is described as "improvisatory environments"), but it's hard to quibble with the first survey of American art to give more than token acknowledgement to the work of African American artists. Over fifty artists and 17 illustrations are included: Emma Amos, Benny Andrews, Amiri Baraka, Jean-Michel Basquiat (illus.), Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Dana Chandler, Michael Ray Charles (illus.), Barbara Chase-Riboud, Robert Colescott (illus.), Thornton Dial (illus.), Aaron Douglas, Emory Douglas, Melvin Edwards (illus.), Sam Gilliam, Coco Fusco (illus.), David Hammons (illus.), Palmer Hayden, Lonnie Holley, Cliff Joseph, Malvin Gray Johnson, Sargent Johnson (illus.), William H.

HIGGINBOTHAM, EVELYN BROOKS, et al, Eds.
The Harvard Guide to African-American History.
2001.
923 pp., visual arts bibliography of approximately 80 books in addition to the monographs mentioned in the text. Review of publications cites only four monographs from the 1940s-1971 (Rodman's Horace Pippin; Lois Mailou Jones Peintures; Images of Dignity; Mathews' Henry Ossawa Tanner) along with mention of the illustrated books by Elton Fax and John T. Biggers (on their trips to Africa), Allan Rohan Crite and Oliver Harrington. Only five additional books from the 1970s are mentioned, one of which is referred to as "that unusual publication, an artist's autobiography," but fails to note that the book is for children and that children's literature biographies of successful African American men were published in droves during the 70s, even in the form of history comic books. The author of this section states that roughly 50 monographic publications (including books and exhibition catalogues) were published during the 1990s. A highly misleading body count; we count well over 1000. Text includes mention of publications from the 1970s-90s on Charles Alston, Edward Mitchell Bannister, Romare Bearden, John Biggers, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, Thomas Day, Beauford Delaney, Thornton Dial, Robert S. Duncanson, Melvin Edwards, Minnie Evans, Elton Fax, Tom Feelings, Amos Ferguson, David Hammons, Oliver Harrington, Palmer Hayden, Clementine Hunter, William H.

Porter, Faith Ringgold, Ellis Ruley, Philip Simmons, Renee Stout, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Alma Thomas, Bill Traylor, James W. Washington, Jr., James Lesesne Wells, and several others.

ISOARDI, STEVE.
The Dark Tree: Jazz and the Community Arts in Los Angeles.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006.
While he was still in his twenties, Horace Tapscott gave up a successful career in Lionel Hampton's band and returned to his home in Los Angeles to found the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a community arts group that focused on providing affordable, community-oriented jazz and jazz training. Over the course of almost forty years, the Arkestra, together with the related Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension (UGMAA) Foundation, were at the forefront of the vital community-based arts movements in black Los Angeles. Some three hundred artists (musicians, vocalists, poets, playwrights, painters, sculptors, and graphic artists) passed through these organizations, many ultimately remaining within the community and others moving on to achieve international fame. Based primarily on one hundred in-depth interviews with current and former participants, The Dark Tree is the first history of the important and largely overlooked community arts movement of African American Los Angeles. Dozens of interviews were conducted with musicians, but information on visual artists was drawn from the old interviews conducted for the UCLA Oral History Project in the early to mid-90s -- Ben Caldwell, Alonzo Davis, curator Cecil Ferguson, Suzanne Jackson, John Outterbridge, Noah Purifoy, John Riddle, Betye Saar, and Ruth Waddy. The visual arts receive almost no treatment whatsoever in this study. The handful of pages on Noah Purifoy and even less on John Outterbridge are the only substantive mention of the visual arts. Mentioned in passing, for example, is Purifoy's mentorship of artists such as John Riddle, Nathaniel Bustion, Melvin Edwards, David Hammons, and Betye Saar, but without explanation. The Brockman Gallery receives one paragraph; the Lincoln Motion Picture Company (the first black-owned film company) receives one sentence. 8vo, cloth, d.j. and music CD.

January 26-March 7, 1971.
14 pp. exhib. cat., 6 illus., photos, bibliog. Text by Joseph E. Young. Three African American artists working in Southern CA in the '70s whose work shares a commitment to political imagery. [Exhibition traveled to Santa Barbara Museum of Art, March 20-April 18, 1971.] Hammons's body prints have proven of particular interest to contemporary artists. These prints were made by physically laying himself against the paper with his body or clothing coated in margarine. The hard part for the artist was removing himself from the work: "When I lie down on the paper which is first placed on the floor, I have to carefully decide how to get up after I have made the impression that I want. Sometimes I lie there for perhaps three minutes or even longer just figuring out how I can get off the paper without smudging the image that I'm trying to print." (Young, p. 8.) Then the artist applied powdered pigments to the margerine impression, subsequently securing the pigmented image(s) with a fixative. For background information on why the exhibition was picketed, see interview with Cecil Ferguson (African-American Artists of Los Angeles: Cecil Ferguson, Tape Number: V, Side Two, June 3, 1991:214-216); http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb7h4nb803&chunk.id=div00026&brand=oac&doc.view=entire_text.] 8vo (28 cm.), wraps.
