Description
"The most iconic works of Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) are widely known, reproduced, copied, and even parodied.

Description
Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) created some of the most innovative and best-loved works of the twentieth century.

Description
In the period of radical change that was 1963-1983, young black artists at the beginning of their careers in the USA confronted key questions and pressures. How could they make art that would stand as innovative, original, formally and materially complex, while also making work that reflected their concerns and experience as black Americans? This significant new publication, accompanying an exhibition at Tate Modern, surveys this crucial period in...
