From its origins in early eighteenth century slave communities to the end of the twentieth century, African American art has made a vital contribution to the art of the United States. African American Art provides a major reassessment of the subject, setting the art in the context of the African American experience. Here, Patton discusses folk and decorative arts such as ceramics, furniture, and quilts alongside fine art, sculptures, paintings, and photography during the 1800s. She also examines the New Negro Movement of the 1920s, the era of Civil Rights and Black Nationalism during the 1960s and 70s, and the emergence of new black artists and theorists in the 1980s and 90s.
