"This well-designed and illuminating book is the first to grapple with Walker's audacious and shrewdly provocative inquiries."-- Donna Seaman, "Booklist"
Reseña del editor
Kara Walker (b. 1969) has emerged as one of her generation's most important artists. Best known for her provocative black paper cutout silhouettes, she confronts stereotypes, sex, violence, and power relationships through Civil War-era parodies, narratives, and a mastery of craft and installation. This book, which accompanies an exhibition organized by the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College and the Williams College Museum of Art, presents a comprehensive overview of Walker's work, beginning with her first cut-paper wall installation, "Gone, An Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred between the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart" (1994). Other highlights include the 1996 series of 24 watercolor drawings, "Brown Follies", which is reproduced in full as an artist's book within the book, and installation views of many of Walker's exhibitions. Drawings and projections are also featured. Throughout the book are a selection of the Walker's writings reproduced as they were created typed on index cards. These writings reveal a rarely seen side of the artist, whose words are as provocative as her installations and drawings. The essays discuss Walker's place in art history, formal and narrative readings of her work, her relation to culture at large, and issues of race, sexuality, and representation addressed in her work.

See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Printed throughout this book is a selection of writings by Kara Walker written in the spring of 2001. They appear as they were cre-ated, typed on 3 x 5-inch index cards. These texts include diary-like revelations, influential quotes, and hilarious and horrific fantasies. Walker explains that, "What I wanted to write I felt I didn't have the patience for, so I kept these little diatribes and conversations limited in size. What I liked about working this way was the sound of the typing and the way voices and places revolved around my head, settled for a second on the page and then went back in to the whirlwind." After re-reading the finished cards, Walker organized several groups by taping them together and, in a few cases, edited some sentences with pencil and black tape. Some of each are included here, and when possible the original form of the cards is followed. After a few months, these cards, which began as an alter-native way of thinking about ideas, became the root of a new b. Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM586-AC-12417
