This will be an ongoing thread compiling info on late-19th to mid-20th historical African art. The info will include links to free books (sourced properly i.e. The Africa Center, museums, writers etc), images, articles, videos, opinions, auctions, and anything worthwhile.
One of my closest friends is the brilliant art historian Huey Copeland. I wrote him weeks ago after I had a student who wanted more reading material on black artists & race. Huey’s book is hundreds of dollars but he just texted me to say they made it free! https://t.co/3tJYK9vjBv
