"This book represents a major event in the art world. It is the first book to encompass the entire span and range of black art in America, from unknown artisans and journeymen painters of the 18th century to such internationally admired 19th-century artists as Edward M. Bannister, Edmonia Lewis, and Henry Ossawa Tanner, through the artists of the dynamic "Harlem Renaissance" of the 1920s, and up to Horace Pippin, Jacob Lawrence, and Romare Bearden ... and reproduces works, chronologically arranged, by all the 63 artists in the show, their paintings, sculptures, graphics, as well as crafts ranging from dolls to walking sticks" -- Dust cover
