Brown, Bruce (Interview) and Lowery Stokes Sims — David Driskell: Painting Across the Decade, 1996-2006
NY, DC Moore Gallery, 2006. Softbound. Color illustrated stiff wraps. [48] pp. profusely illustrated in color. Painter, sculptor, scholar, teacher, collector, and curator -- David Driskell is a true Renaissance man. For over three decades he has been one of the worlds leading authorities on African American art. His own art brings a wide range of references to a semi-abstract, modernist style. Drawing inspiration from African art, nature, and the arts of quilt-making and basket-weaving, Driskells richly colored gouaches, watercolors and collages are energetic and painterly. He often utilizes torn strips of painted canvas and paper, which are collaged side by side and are further worked with calligraphic strokes. 25 paintings are illustrated in this catalogue.
