About the book >.>.> Kara Walker: Narratives of a Negress presents a comprehensive overview of Walker’s work beginning with her first cut-paper wall installation Gone An Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred between the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart 1994 through new multimedia installations that feature layers of colored projections. The 1996 series of twenty-four watercolors Brown Follies is reproduced in full as are many views of Walker’s past exhibitions. Throughout the book is a selection of Walker’s writings as they appear typed on index cards. These writings reveal a rarely seen side of the artist whose words are as provocative as her installations and drawings. Also included are four essays that discuss her relation to culture at large and issues of race sexuality and representation addressed in her art. (MP)
