Essays by Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Thomas McEvilley ; notes on the works by Paul Arnett and William Arnett ; foreword by Gerard C. Wertkin ; afterword by Henry Pillsbury. A former Alabama steel worker, Dial "made things" without acclaim for the first 60 years of his life. Since his "discovery," the self-taught African American artist has gained international attention. The tiger symbolizes both Dial and the African American male. It acts as protagonist in highly sculptural paintings constructed from found objects, scraps of carpeting, rope, and Bondo. Though the paintings are nearly abstract, close examination reveals a complex narration among the vivid colors, energetic lines, and bold design. McEvilley and Baraka do a good job of explaining the meaning of "outsider art" like Dial's, and through comparisons with figures in conventional art history they validate his work. Enhanced by the fiercely political prose of Baraka and direct quotes from the artist. N° de réf. du vendeur RWARE0000002382

Vendeur : Mullen Books, ABAA, Marietta, PA, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Crimson stamped cloth, black & color illus. dust jacket, 160 pp., 122 color plates, 6 BW illus. Issued in conjunction with an exhibition of tiger-inspired art rendered by American artist Thornton Dial (1928-2016). This is the first major monograph on his art. "Using a variety of materials -- scrap metal, rope, carpeting, canvas, wood, and paint -- held together with industrial sealing compound, Dial creates powerful, richly textured narrative assemblages. His primary symbol is the tiger, with which he represents the African-American male, notably Dial himself, as he encounters life. Along the way, the artist comments on a broad range of social issues." (dj) With essays by Thomas McEvilley, Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), and Henry Pillsbury, and many vibrant examples of Dial's craft. A terrific introduction to an author you may not know. VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Sticker at the base of the spine on the dust jacket. Stamp and pencil mark on front free end page. Stamp on back free end page. Sticker on back pasted end page.
