Book Description
Betye Saar, born in Los Angeles in 1926, emerged in the 1960s as a powerful figure in the redefinition of African
American art. Over the past forty years, she has injected African American visual histories into mainstream visual
culture by blending spiritual, political, and cultural iconography to create complex works with universal impact.
This beautifully illustrated book accompanies the first retrospective of Saar's work, showcasing the extraordinary
depth and breadth of her achievement. It provides multiple vantage points from which to gain a richer understanding
of Saar's career, American art of the 1960s, feminism, contemporary art, and California culture and politics.
