Description

Discover the groundbreaking work of Joe Overstreet (1933-2019) through this essential survey published by Yale University Press. This book provides the first comprehensive look at Overstreet, an abstract painter who played an energizing role in the Black Arts Movement and helped forecast the rise of Afrofuturism. At the heart of this volume is the Flight Patterns series, created between 1969 and 1973. These intensely colored acrylic-on-canvas works challenge traditional presentation by using ropes to tether them to ceilings, floors, and walls. This spatial approach offers a unique way to experience his art. By situating his socially engaged work within the modern modernist canon, this book helps redefine art history. It is a must-have for collectors, students, and anyone interested in the history of abstract painting and the Black Arts Movement. This volume offers a deep look into the legacy of a major artist who pushed the boundaries of how art exists in a physical space.
