| Summary: | Discusses the author's trajectory since the 1950s as a researcher and instructor in African-American art. He describes his undergraduate induction to the field, remarking on the work of Hale Woodruff, Elizabeth Catlett, Fred Flemster, Lois Mailou Jones, and Charles White, and the texts The Negro in Art (1940) by Alain A. Locke and Modern Negro Art (1943) by James A. Porter. He emphasizes his concern with finding interdisciplinary approaches and with discovering the continuities between classical African and modern work, and remarks on the need for scholarly activity at all levels. |
