Book excerpt: "Driscoll Babcock Galleries presents Disturbing the Peace, Margaret Bowland’s second New York solo exhibition of psychologically provocative paintings. Bowland draws upon legendary American novelist and social critic, James Baldwin’s, rallying cry that, 'Artists are here to disturb the peace,' by creating a very personal series of works which questions societal expectations about gender, race and beauty. The majority of the works focus on JJ, Bowland’s muse for the past five years. In Painting the Roses Red, JJ’s brown skin is coated in a layer of white paint as red paint drips down upon her head and her rose-accented dress. Throughout many cultures and periods -- from England’s Queen Elizabeth I to the geishas of Japan -- white makeup has been applied to mask individual characteristics and emphasize other 'more important' attributes from innocence to economic status. In 21st century America, the application of white paint onto an African American girl not only carries this historical weight, but also the baggage of racial inequality and varieties of slavery imposed by contemporary cultures." --Driscoll Babcock website, viewed July 29, 2016.
Download or read book Margaret Bowland written by Margaret Bowland and published by University of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an essay by Siri Hustvedt, Margaret Bowland: Excerpts from the Great American Songbook is the first publication devoted to Bowland's stunning and psychologically charged series of paintings focused on "JJ," a young African American girl, in whom the artist sees a metaphorical lightning rod for her own personal issues of gender, beauty, individuality, and race. For Bowland it is a steadfast journey of relentless self-awareness. Her paintings are titled according to famous and beloved songs that, however delightful, always seem to be burdened with the dark shadow of sorrow. Provocative and inspiring, Bowland's paintings capture themes of internalized suffering, denial, and basic human frailty alongside powerful notions of affirmation, resilience, trust, and an intrinsic sense of beauty. This volume surveys all of the paintings in Bowland's "JJ" series, most of which were completed between 2008 and 2011, but have never been shown publicly. This beautifully designed volume provides detailed descriptions of the artist's work, making it an essential book on gender, race, and contemporary art.

Download or read book The Dead Don t Need Reminding written by Julian Randall and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant, adult nonfiction debut from the acclaimed MG author and poet weaves two personal narratives of recovery and reclamation, spliced with a dazzle of pop-culture The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is a braided story of Julian Randall’s return from the cliff edge of a harrowing depression and his determination to retrace the hustle of a white-passing grandfather to the Mississippi town from which he was driven amid threats of tar and feather. Alternatively wry, lyrical, and heartfelt, Randall transforms pop culture moments into deeply personal explorations of grief, family, and the American way. He envisions his fight to stay alive through a striking medley of media ranging from Into the Spiderverse and Jordan Peele movies to BoJack Horseman and the music of Odd Future. Pulsing with life, sharp, and wickedly funny, The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is Randall’s journey to get his ghost story back.
