Transatlantic Dialogue: Contemporary Art in and Out of Africa by Michael D. Harris, ISBN 029597933X
Transatlantic Dialogue opens an exciting cultural dialogue at the crossroads where Western and African art traditions intersect. Despite diversity, of media, technique, and form, these contemporary African and African American art works and the artists who created them are united by a rich network of connections, exchanges, and associations generated from both shores of the Middle Passage.
Collected in this book are 24 color reproductions of the art of seven African artists: Skunder Boghossian, Sokari Douglas Camp, Rashid Diab, Amir Nour, Moyo Ogundipe, Moyo Okediji, and Ouattara -- and seven African American artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Biggers, Jeff Donaldson, Yvonne Edwards-Tucker, Winnie Owens-Hart, Charles Searles, and Al Smith.
