William Edmondson: A Monumental Vision Claiborne James
A reassessment of self-taught artist William Edmondson, exploring the enduring relevance of his workThis richly illustrated volume reintroduces readers to American sculptor William Edmondson (1874-1951) more than 80 years after his historic solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Initially creating tombstones for his community, over time he expanded his practice to include biblical subjects, the natural world, and recognizable figures including nurses and preachers. Edmondson began carving at the onset of the Depression in Tennessee.
Reading the artist through lenses of African American experience, the authors draw parallels between then and now, highlighting the complex relationship between Black cultural production and the American museum. This book features new essays that explore Edmondson's life in the South and his reception on the East Coast in the 1930s.
