How to Follow African American Art: A blog about the history of African American art and how to learn more about it.
The main reason why I started this blog in early December, 2010, is that I was researching African American Art History and found almost nothing on the internet.
There are a great number of books on African American art, but few are focused on Art History as opposed to general social studies. The best book on the subject (in my opinion), Charles White’s “The Fire of Black Art” is out of print and hard to find. It is a topic that deserves its own online resource.
How to Follow African American Art is a blog about African American art and how to learn more about it. You’ll find information on art museums and galleries, and other resources that will help you understand the history of the African American art movement.
Tons of wonderful art has been created by people of color in all parts of the world. I’d like to share my passion for African American art with you. Please stop by again.
