Description

This vibrant catalogue presents the work of contemporary artist Harmonia Rosales.

Featuring over twenty paintings and a monumental sculptural installation, Harmonia Rosales: Master Narrative is the artist’s first major touring exhibition and first scholarly catalogue of her work. Los Angeles-based artist Harmonia Rosales (b. Chicago, 1984) rewrites the canon, or the master narrative of art history, from the perspective of an Afro-Cuban American woman in the twenty-first century.

Her canvases seamlessly weave the tales and charactersrooted in West African Yorùbá religion, Greek mythology, and Christianity with the canonical works and artistic techniques of the European Renaissance.

Through her visual storytelling, Rosales presents the notion of human and cultural survival on her own terms– one that highlights the beauty and strength of Black people, particularly women, while touching upon grand narratives of creation, tragedy, survival and transcendence. This beautifully illustrated publication includes a catalogue of works in the exhibition, a biography of the artist and new essays by noted scholars in their fields.

These essays explore themes ranging from storytelling and narrative to gender and depiction of beauty to race and diaspora.
