Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Revised, Expanded. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Beginning with the arts produced in the Colonial period, Dr. Lewis documents and interprets the flow of creative productions of an important segment of the American population. Her book shows that the range of art produced by African American artists covers the entire spectrum of craft productions through painting, sculpture, and printmaking. There is a progressive development of style that not only reflects the trends in particular periods, but reveals an evolving pattern of indigenous qualities that are distinct. The art community in general and the African American community in particular are fortunate to have Dr. Samella Lewis, for she has developed unusual authority in the area of African American art. I know that African American Art and Artists will be of great value educationally and that it will offer a stimulating and rewarding experience to all who have the opportunity to share in its contents.--Jacob Lawrence.

Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First printing. First editions (both) of the complete two-volume set, inscribed by editor Samella Lewis to contributor and noted Harlem Renaissance artist Loïs Mailou Jones. Self-published in 1969, this "influential" (Jo-Ann Morgan) Black Arts Movement visual anthology was the brainchild of editors Lewis and Waddy, along with E.J. Montgomery. It was dedicated to "the unique vision of African American artists the need for the mainstream to expand notions of aesthetic beauty," a project that eventually grew into the magazine BLACK ART, the "first periodical devoted to African American and African Diaspora artists" (Jones 56-7). This set is inscribed to contributor Loïs Mailou Jones (Lois Jones Pierre-Noel), whose work appears on pages 97-8 of the first volume. Jones's work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Hirshhorn, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and The Phillips Collection. Other noted contributors include: Betye Saar, Jacob Lawrence, and Elizabeth Carlett, among more than 100, predominately West Coast artists. As the 2022 exhibition at the Crocker Art Museum based on BLACK ARTISTS attested: "BLACK ARTISTS ON ART brought attention to the many notable Black artists who were neglected or overlooked by the mainstream art world. More than 50 years later, [the book] is foundational to the arts community, acting as a record of the collaborative effort of Black artists throughout the country to unite and discuss their work."
