Item description from seller

Cloth, 176 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at Fort Wayne Museum of Art February 1 to March 30, 1997. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. Dust jacket, with light shelfwear, protected in a mylar cover. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Twenty-five of the most outstanding African American women artists have contributed their work to the exhibition 'Bearing Witness,' celebrating the opening of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art and the 115th anniversary of the college. Works in all mediums are included here - paintings, sculptures, fiber art, mixed mediums, and prints - created by some of today's most exceptional artists, among them Lorna Simpson, Faith Ringgold, Carrie Mae Weems, and Betye Saar. Because of its history as the first institution of higher learning for black women, Spelman has become a mecca, a true wellspring of strength and sustenance for African American women. It is only fitting that these artists gather to honor Spelman College, which has long nurtured the creative and educational vision of black women. The arts have always held a central place at Spelman. The college has an impressive fine arts tradition that began with the assemblage of one of the first college-held collections of works by black artists. The tradition continues with the opening of the college's new Museum of Fine Art, the centerpiece of the new Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Academic Center. The museum's 4,500 square feet of exhibition space is designed to house the college's internationally recognized collection of paintings, prints, and photographs, as well as an impressive grouping of African sculptures and textiles. The museum also includes a conservatory, one of the few in the country devoted to preserving African American artworks." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The visual education of Spelman women, by M. Akua McDaniel; Passages, by Jontyle Theresa Robinson; Warrior women, by Beverly Guy-Sheftall;Triumphant determination, by Tritobia Benjamin; African American women in the arts, by Lowery Sims; Hagar's daughters, by Judith Wilson.
