Book Reviews of Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas
Book Review: The Norman Rockwell of the Black San Francisco Bay Area
Summary: 5 Stars
As an individual who grew up in San Francisco during the 1960s, I depended on the graphic interpretations of Emory Douglas to translate to my young mind the more complicated aspects of the struggle. His visuals told stories about our lives. Now that I am writing my doctoral dissertation, which focuses on the Black art and culture of the San Francisco Bay Area, this book is one of my sources. It has been very useful,considering that Emory Douglas is one of the three main subtopics of my research. The book represents the location of a missing link in the history of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Summary of Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas
The Black Panther Party for Self Defense, formed in the aftermath of the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965, remains one of the most controversial movements of the 20th-century. Founded by the charismatic Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the party sounded a defiant cry for an end to the institutionalized subjugation of African Americans. The Black Panther newspaper was founded to articulate the party's message and artist Emory Douglas became the paper's art director and later the party's Minister of Culture.Douglas's artistic talents and experience proved a powerful combination: his striking collages of photographs and his own drawings combined to create some of the era's most iconic images, like that of Newton with his signature beret and large gun set against a background of a blood-red star, which could be found blanketing neighborhoods during the 12 years the paper existed.This landmark book brings together a remarkable lineup of party insiders who detail the crafting of the party's visual identity.Exhibition Catalogs Books
