| Description: |
Shows The Julius Rosenwald Fund's initiative to address issues relating to the unequal treatment of blacks in American life. This book also constitutes a who's who of African American artists and intellectuals of the first half of the twentieth century. |
| Synopsis: |
The Julius Rosenwald Fund has been largely ignored in the literature of both art history and African American studies, despite its unique focus, intensity, and commitment. Spertus Museum in Chicago has organized an exhibition, guest curated by Daniel Schulman, that presents and explores the work of funded artists as well as the history of the Fund. Through it, and this accompanying collection of essays, illustrations, and color plates, we see the Fund's groundbreaking initiative to address issues relating to the unequal treatment of blacks in American life. The book constitutes a veritable who's who of African American artists and intellectuals of the first half of the twentieth century, as well as a roll call of modern contributors who represent the leading scholars in their fields, including Peter M. Ascoli, grandson and biographer of Julius Rosenwald, and Kinshasha Holman Conwill, deputy director of the National Museum of African American Art and Culture. With far-reaching influence even today, the Julius Rosenwald Fund stands alongside the Rockefeller and Carnegie funds as a major force in American cultural history.This book takes an illuminating look at an innovative fund and the opportunities it brought to African American artists. |
