Souls Grown Deep African American Vernacular Art of the South The Tree Gave the Dove a Leaf

The first comprehensive overview of an important genre of American art, Souls Grown Deep explores the visual-arts genius of the black South. This first work in a multivolume study introduces 40 African-American self-taught artists, who, without significant formal training, often employ the most unpretentious and unlikely materials. Like blues and jazz artists, they create powerful statements amplifying the call for freedom and vision.Arnett, Paul is the author of 'Souls Grown Deep African American Vernacular Art of the South The Tree Gave the Dove a Leaf' with ISBN 9780965376600 and ISBN 0965376605.
