SUMMARY:Black Art
DESCRIPTION: While black is a word with many connotations-"referring t
	o color\, race\, style of comedy\, etc.-"the phrase black art is usual
	ly associated with works made by artists of African descent. Simply pu
	t\, it is both a color and a concept. The 27 artworks in this installa
	tion\, drawn primarily from SAM's permanent collection\, magnify the i
	mpact of this charged color and its connections to complicated social 
	histories and purely aesthetic concerns. Black Art includes work that 
	spans across time\, from ca. 1830 to 2006\, and across national and et
	hnic boundaries. Among the issues that black\, as a concept\, raises a
	re racial and cultural heritage\, perception and stereotype\, spiritua
	lity and religion\, protest and narrative. The aesthetic role that the
	 actual color black plays in formal exercises of composition and line 
	are highlighted in both figurative and abstract work shown here. It's 
	up to you to determine when black refers to a subject\, an artistic id
	entity\, aesthetic choices or content. The installation Black Art is p
	articularly relevant to the work of Gwendolyn Knight and Jacob Lawrenc
	e\, the artists for whom this gallery is named. Jacob Lawrence found h
	is success in creating art that featured the triumphant stories of Bla
	ck subjects\, and Gwendolyn Knight's work celebrated animals\, nature 
	and people of diverse backgrounds. -"Sandra Jackson-Dumont\, Adjunct C
	urator and the Kayla Skinner Deputy Director of Education & Public Pro
