Beyond Mammy Jezebel & Sapphire by Sigrid Asmus, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Engaging a wide range of experiences, techniques and materials, the nine artists featured in this volume challenge the images of black women that continue to pervade our culture and influence perceptions: stereotypes such as the suffering mama, the angry black woman and the temptress. Brought together in this publication, works by Romare Bearden, Mildred Howard, Wangechi Mutu, Lorna Simpson, Kara Walker, Robert Colescott, Ellen Gallagher, Alison Saar and Mickalene Thomas disrupt expectations and replace simplistic narratives with nuanced, sophisticated meditations on contemporary identity. | Beyond Mammy Jezebel & Sapphire by Sigrid Asmus, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
