Hall of Negro Life, Texas Centennial Exposition. Texas Centennial Exposition: Exhibition of Fine Art Productions by American Negroes. June 19-November 29, 1936. The visual arts exhibitions were curated by Alonzo J. Aden. Art in the Hall of Negro Life included: a large bas-relief seal sculpted by Raoul Josset over the door depicting a figure with broken chains. Four murals of black history were commissioned from Aaron Douglas and were displayed in the lobby: Bondage (Corcoran Gallery) and Aspiration (San Francisco Museum of Art); the other two are believed lost. Two rooms of paintings and sculpture by Texas artists Samuel A. Countee and an unknown artist from Galveston named Frank Sheinall as well as artists from other states whose work was loaned by the Harmon Foundation. Included: Henry O.

ABC-CLIO, 2008. 3 vols. 1110 pp. Marked by a more than usual editorail indifference to the visual arts, entries of erratic quality and less than desirable levels of research or scholarship. Deborah Willis is alotted a bare handful of pages to cover the entirety of African American photography. The essay on African Diaspora Art was allotted 17 pages to cover a period of 35,000 years and makes a courageous attempt to do so. It is not supported by any entries on individual artists, and many of the artists mentioned are not in the index. The entry is also plagued with inexcusable misspellings of numerous artists' names. The essay on Diaspora photography is also beset by the requirement of inappropriate brevity; the author desperately spends most of the allotted space listing the names of a fairly subjective selection of photographers, some with birth dates, others not. Clyde Taylor packs his 2 1/2 page space allotment to cover Diaspora Film with as many names as possible and, understandably, still can find no room for the Black Audio Film Collective or other such experimental filmmakers, Other essays are depressingly vacuous - the essay on the Black Arts Movement, allotted 2 pages, spends only 31 lines on vague remarks about the movement which the reader is led to think is attributable to events that took place in the Nile Valley thousands of years before. What can you say about a book that devotes more space to rap and hip-hop than to Barbados. Not a book worth consulting? 4to (10.3 x 7.3 in.), cloth. DAVIS (CA).

(including 91 in color). Although it includes a chapter on "Feminist art and Black art," this by no means summarizes the level of inclusion of black artists at every point throughout the text. There are many glaring omissions (John Biggers, Mildred Howard, Lois Mailou Jones, Martin Puryear, Bob Thompson, etc.) and some odd summary comments (for example, Norman Lewis's work is described as "improvisatory environments"), but it's hard to quibble with the first survey of American art to give more than token acknowledgement to the work of African American artists.

GATES, HENRY LOUIS, JR. and EVELYN BROOKS HIGGINBOTHAM, ed. African American Lives. Oxford University Press, 2004. 1080 pp. biographies of 611 African-Americans over more than four centuries, of which some 257 of the entries have been reprinted from American National Biography (Oxford, 1999). For far more entries on women than are found here, the reader should consult Darlene Clark Hine's Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia (Carlson, 1993). The visual artists include a heavily skewed emphasis on photographers which seems to have come from copying the entries in Deborah Willis's Black Photographers: 1940-1988, without doing the same for any of the equivalent research on African American painters, sculptors, printmakers, etc. Hopefully this will be remedied in some future edition.

Review in Art Digest, December 15, 1941, praises the show, but in exceedingly demeaning racist language: "The American Negro has at last spoken in art -- firmly and distinctively, his voice having as definite an intonation with colors as his soul has in singing and dancing. His choice of dazzling colors is just as typical as his exaggerated sense of humor, his strut and guffaw; his concern with the burdened just as characteristic as his pleading songs to his Maker."

Fine Arts was one of the six major classifications in the exhibition, and included all media, listing 179 exhibits in painting, drawing, sketching, graphic arts and sculpture. "Most of the art was supplied by the Harmon Foundation and selected by four eminent judges." A booklet supplying biographical sketches of the artists was distributed. A booth containing handicraft included needlework, an inlaid table top by R. A. Johnson of Richmond, VA, two Lone Star quilts, and a screen by Miss Hallie Queen of Washington, D.C. on which were collaged dozens of autographed photographs of famous African Americans. Another section included photographs of the buildings designed by architect Paul R. Williams, including homes designed for Corinne Griffith, Lon Chaney and Yehudi Menuhin. The review of the art section by Claude Telford (released by the Associated Press, September 10, 1936) is quoted in full (pp. 100-101.
