Description

Black artists have been making major contributions to the British art scene for decades, since at least the mid-twentieth century.

Sometimes these artists were regarded and embraced as practitioners of note.

At other times they faced challenges of visibility - and in response they collaborated and made their own exhibitions and gallery spaces.

In this book, Eddie Chambers tells the story of these artists from the 1950s onwards, including recent developments and successes. Black Artists in British Art makes a major contribution to British art history.

Beginning with discussions of the pioneering generation of artists such as Ronald Moody, Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling, Chambers candidly discusses the problems and progression of several generations, including contemporary artists such as Steve McQueen, Chris Ofili and Yinka Shonibare.

Meticulously researched, this important book tells the fascinating story of practitioners who have frequently been overlooked in the dominant history of twentieth-century British art.
