Book Review: An outstanding catalog of a very different printmaking approach
Summary: 5 Stars
David C. Driskell is an accomplished artist, a respected educator, a noted historian, an able curator, and a distinguished diplomat. For more than fifty years he has worked and created in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, collage, and printmaking. It is his printmaking that is celebrated and showcased in "Evolution: Five Decades Of Printmaking By David C. Driskell", a compendium that includes his woodcuts, linoleum cuts, lithographs, etchings, and screenprints. Enhanced with more than 100 perfectly reproduced images of his works, the illustrations range from black-and-white figures and portraits, brightly colored landscapes, still lifes, and abstracts. It should be noted that "Evolution" is the accompanying catalog to an exhibition of his work currently on display at The David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland. Featuring three informed and informative essays by three scholars in the field of African American art offering insights into Driskell's techniques, subject matter, inspirations and influences, "Evolution" also provides a comprehensive checklist of prints crated by Driskell in the course of his career, a David C. Driskell Chronology (by Julie McGee), and an index, making this seminal work of scholarship a significant and timely contribution to personal and academic library African-American Art History reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
