Description
Henry Taylor: A Grand Pageant of Contemporary Black Life in America This comprehensive monograph celebrates the work of Henry Taylor, a Los Angeles artist widely appreciated for his unique aesthetic and social vision. Spanning 30 years of painting, sculpture, and installation, the book presents a survey of Taylor's practice, which combines portraits, allegorical tableaux, and experimental works that bring art into everyday culture. Taylor's paintings on found supports, such as cigarette packs and cereal boxes, display flashes of familiarity in their seemingly brash compositions. His installations often recode the forms and symbolisms of found materials to play upon art historical tropes and modernism's appropriations of African or African American culture. The result is a deep observation of Black life in America at the turn of the century, while also inviting a humanist fellowship that pushes outward from the particular. Raised in Oxnard, California, Henry Taylor (born 1958) brings his unique perspective to the art world, shaped by his experiences as a psychiatric technician and artist. This book provides a comprehensive look at his work, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary American art.
