The definitive monograph of Sam Gilliam, one of the great innovators in post-war American painting 

An African American artist in the nation’s capital at the height of the civil rights movement, Sam Gilliam blazed a trail with his singular artistic vision. He emerged from the Washington, D.C. art scene in the mid-1960s with works that disrupted established artistic norms and styles. Relentlessly experimental and inspired by the improvisatory ethos of jazz, Gilliam’s lyrical abstractions took on an increasing variety of forms, moods, and materials. This book, made in close collaboration with the Sam Gilliam Foundation, is the first to comprehensively survey the breadth of his extraordinary career. With texts by Ishmael Reed, Mary Schmidt Campbell, Andria Hickey, and Sam Gilliam.
