Book Review: Margo Humphrey by Adrienne Childs |
|
Look for a book review Adrienne L. Childs, Margo Humphrey (the David C. Driskell Series of African American Art), Pomegranate Communications, (hard cover), 2009 in the current issue of International Review of African American Art and Artists.
Arguably among the great stone lithographers of our age, Margo Humphrey also is an expert, visual story teller. Margo Humphrey, the seventh volume in Pomegrante’s Driskell series, presents more than forty-five color plates spanning the artist’s progression from her early abstractions to her mature "sophisticated naive" style. The book’s author, art historian Adrienne L. Childs, joined Margo Humphrey in a talk on December 13, 2009 at the Millennium Arts Salon. The talk, “Ten Things to know about MargoHumphrey and the Making of this Book,”provided insights about the collaboration between artist and author.
Purchase a copy of the Review at Millennium Arts Salon, International Visions Gallery and other locations around the city.
