'We are encouraged to believe that the governments and corporations of the affluent parts of the world are run by rational people using rational processes to make rational decisions. The dominant faith of the world in our time is rationality. That in an age of reason the human race or the most wealthy and powerful parts of it should be behaving with colosal irrationality outght to make us wonder if reason alone can lead us to do what is right.' from 'Two Minds.'-from the front dust jacket flap.

2016Best.-Nr. 21843This comprehensive monograph examines the work of Alma Thomas an important artist in the Color Field movement and a pioneer among African-American artists working in abstraction. Alma Thomas started her painting career at the age of 68 after retiring from teaching art to junior high school students in Washington DC. At the age of 80 Thomas's exuberantly colored abstractions were exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York where she was the first black female artist to be given a solo show. Filled with vibrant illustrations this stunning volume traces Thomas's development as an artist: her transition from figuration to abstraction her fascination with the natural world and space exploration and the mesmerizing mosaic-like paintings she completed before her death. New writings focus on different themes in Thomas's work and the book includes specially commissioned responses by leading artists Leslie Hewitt Jennie C. Jones Leslie Wayne and Saya Woolfalk. Together these bring Thomas's work to a new generation of readers. As the work of many African-American abstractionists is only recently coming into the spotlight this important book on Alma Thomas profiles a truly pioneering figure. The book is a brand new sealed copy. Prestel hardcover
