It assaults one's equilibrium physically and psychologically. In this stunning book, Richard Powell draws on the concept of \"colorstruck,\" a twentieth-century slang term describing prejudice toward people with darker skin complexions, to provide a new history of Black American art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePowell charts the dynamics of paint and pigment in the works of artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Alma Thomas, Raymond Saunders, Sam Gilliam, Hervé Télémaque, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Nina Chanel Abney, and Henry Taylor. Using blue, green, yellow, orange, black, red, brown, and their combinations, he considers the historical and cultural contexts in which these colors unleash their visual magic and shows how the artists' vibrant palettes collide with undercurrents of race in unanticipated and thought-provoking ways. Powell shares compelling insights into the powerful chromatic forces manifested through artists' actions and viewers' reactions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA landmark work by an acclaimed art historian, this richly illustrated book offers a dazzling look at the transformative use of color by some of today's most exciting painters, revealing how hue and pigmentation strike a chord for freedom and reclamation in life as well as art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard J.
