""Painting Harlem Modern" is a long overdue study that will likely become the definitive work on this seminal figure in American art."--Mary Ann Calo, Colgate University "A thorough--and long overdue--critical assessment of the remarkable span of Jacob Lawrence's work, "Painting Harlem Modern" offers new and valuable insight into how Harlem shaped art, and how art shaped Harlem. And as if Lawrence, art, and Harlem weren't enough, Patricia Hills also explores the creation of modern black identity. This book is a major contribution not only to African American art history but to African American history in general."--Henry Louis Gates Jr., author of "In Search of Our Roots: How 19 Extraordinary African Americans Reclaimed Their Past" "Patricia Hills, one of the academy's foremost historians of American art, has now directed her energies toward the evocative paintings of the twentieth-century artist/chronicler Jacob Lawrence, and with remarkable results. Viewing Lawrence's Harlem as the Parnassus of African American arts and letters and, related to this, the conceptual site where the painter created his own template for a socially grounded modernism, Hills calls for a reevaluation of this pivotal artist and for a sustained interrogation of his complex, visually layered pictures. For her critical and erudite intercession, art history should be forever indebted."--Richard J. Powell, author of "Cutting a Figure: Fashioning Black Portraiture" "The triumphant result of years of exhaustive scholarship, Hills's book emerges as the definitive treatment of the life and work of one of America's great artists. Lucidly written and deftly illustrated, it is an essential text for specialists and an enjoyable education for anyone interested in Jacob Lawrence and modern American art."--Orlando Patterson, Harvard University
