Summary

"With illuminating essays by leading critics and art historians, an in-depth biography of the artist, and explorations of the southern black art traditions that underlie the artist's visual vocabulary, Thornton Dial in the 21st Century maps new terrain for the study of American art. Reproduced here are 118 recent paintings and sculptures - virtually all of the artist's output from this five-year period - as well as nearly 30 works on paper and an overview of Dial's work from before 2000."--BOOK JACKET.
