Cedric Dover's survey of African American visual art from early portraiture through the postwar period published in 1960 while the work of Black artists remained marginal within standard American art histories. Dover connects artistic production to slavery emancipation migration industrial labor the Harlem Renaissance federal arts programs and the growth of Black cultural institutions. Reproductions of works by Aaron Douglas Charles White Richmond Barthé Jacob Lawrence William H. Johnson Hale Woodruff Selma Burke and others establish a lineage across painting sculpture drawing printmaking and mural art. Dover Cedric. American Negro Art.

Hardcover in original brown cloth with silver spine lettering extensively illustrated in black and white and color no dust jacket.

Johnson's Aunt Alice. Dover an Anglo Indian writer and scholar who published extensively on race anthropology and modern art presents African American art as a continuous field shaped by both formal experimentation and the political conditions governing Black life. His discussion of Harlem Renaissance circles historically Black colleges museum access commercial galleries and federal patronage records the institutional structures through which artists built careers despite segregation and restricted exhibition opportunities. The book's period terminology including its title and chapter language records the vocabulary through which African American art was categorized by publishers and scholars at midcentury.
