A rich reconsideration of a short-lived but visionary voice in twentieth-century American painting and his enduring relevanceBob Thompson (1937-1966) came to critical acclaim in the late 1950s for paintings of unparalleled figurative complexity and chromatic intensity. Tracing the African American artist's prolific, yet tragically brief, transatlantic career, this volume examines Thompson's outlier status and pays close attention to his sustained engagements with themes of community, visibility, and justice. Thompson drew upon the Western art-historical canon to formulate a highly personal, expressive language.
Featuring an array of artwork, and never-before-published poems As the contributors contextualize the artist's ambitions and his unique creative process, they reposition Thompson as a predecessor to contemporary artists such as Kerry James Marshall and Kehinde Wiley.
