Summary:"Out of Many offers a re-examination of select works from The Phillips Collection, the Howard University Gallery of Art, and The David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora. This volume, and its accompanying exhibition, features seventy-five works of art in various media: paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and mixed media by a diverse array of artists including William H. Johnson, Doris Lee, Elisabeth Poe, David Hammons, Ralston Crawford, William Christenberry, Jacob Lawrence, and Romare Bearden. Arranged into five thematic sections--People, Places, Spaces, Things, and Chronicles--the authors consider why certain artists have been omitted from our current narratives, and how we best contextualize their work"--
