The long-awaited first major monograph on the iconic portraitist of Black Americans

This is the first comprehensive monograph on acclaimed painter Amy Sherald, whose distinctive style of simplified realist portraiture features African American subjects rendered against colorful monochrome backdrops or in everyday settings. Sherald rose to fame after being chosen by former first lady Michelle Obama to paint her official portrait for the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, in 2018, becoming the first African American woman to receive this honor. In addition to reproductions of Sherald's recent works, the book--published to accompany her solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London in fall 2022--includes illustrations of earlier paintings, as well as an intimate glimpse into Sherald's process and practice through a series of in-studio photographs. Newly commissioned texts include an art historical analysis of the artist's work by Jenni Sorkin; a meditation on the politics and aesthetics of Sherald's portraiture by cultural scholar Kevin Quashie; and a conversation between Sherald and acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Amy Sherald was born in Georgia in 1973 and received her MFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2004. She has been included in countless group shows at galleries and museums worldwide as well as the subject of solo exhibitions at Hauser & Wirth and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, among others. Sherald lives in Baltimore and New Jersey.

Part of an EXCELLENT series of books that I purchased for our grandson turning 2
Format: Hardcover
This along with the other “I love you” books in a series are absolutely amazing. I had no idea just how incredible and enjoyable this is for a toddler. I have to say, agreed, these are the best written for both the child and it’s parents. And the artwork is perfect which continues from book to book. A real find!
