Description
Many of the sitters in this collection were John Singer Sargent's close friends. They are posed informally, sometimes in the act of painting or singing, and it is evident from the bold way they confront us that they are personalities of a creative stamp. Brilliant as these pictures are as works of art and penetrating studies of character, they are also records of relationships, allegiances, influences and aspirations. This volume aims to explore these...

"For some, the powerful work of the pioneering Black painter and photographer Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) may come as a revelation, but for so many other it has been a guiding light. As Thelma Golden writes in the foreword, "His paintings are astute, slick, and lush--effortlessly cool." A great admirer of the Old Masters, Hendricks is probably best known for his bold paintings of Black friends, relatives, strangers, and himself. This stunning...
