Seeing the Unspeakable: The Art of Kara Walker Paperback - 2004
by Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw
Through her life-size, black-and-white silhouetted figures, controversial artist Kara Walker draws viewers into a dialogue about the dynamics of race, sexuality, and violence. This book provides an overview of Walker's life and career and a close examination of her controversial art.
From the rear cover
""Seeing the Unspeakable "is an extremely important work. Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw is the first writer to place this controversial young artist's work firmly in an art historical perspective. She combines careful scrutiny of the art's formal traits with wide-ranging iconographic analysis, canny theoretical interpretation, and a revelatory examination of the work's critical reception. The result is an extraordinary piece of scholarship."--Judith Wilson, University of California, Irvine
