520    "Three essays in this companion volume to a traveling 
       exhibition trace the artistic and political forces shaping
       African-American art of the last century. McElroy, guest 
       curator at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., 
       explores the years 1880-1920; however, his dry, 
       formalistic analyses of various works do not address what 
       their makers might have had in common aside from race. 
       Fortunately, Powell, program director for the Washington 
       D.C. Project for the Arts, and Patton, chief curator of 
       Harlem's Studio Museum, who respectively cover the periods
       1920-1950 and 1950-1987, relate the pieces in the 
       collection to one another, placing them in a socio-
       historical context. Color reproductions of 75 works are 
       well integrated and commendably diverse, and include art 
       by Elizabeth Catlett, whose subjects address societal 
       inequities, and by Charles Alston, who in the 1930s led 
       the influential Harlem Art Workshop and who was equally 
       adept at figurative and abstract representation. Prints, 
       etchings such as those of Henry O. Tanner, whose works are
       marked by religious themes, and the folk art of Bill 
       Traylor, who at 85 began to draw on cardboard scraps, 
       complement the oil paintings depicted here." -- Publishers
