Souls Grown Deep Vol. 2: African American Vernacular Art - Hardcover

by William S. Arnett (Author), William Arnett (Author), Lowery Sims (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Completing the two-volume set, Souls Grown Deep, Vol. 2 takes the visual and historical presentation of the first volume to a richer level, offering an even broader array of artistic styles and media. Published in 2000, the first volume explored the diverse historical roots of the genre and introduced artists whose work recalled the South of the pre-civil rights era. This sequel brings the movement into the present, delving into the work of the current generation of artists who are creating a complex form of art that blurs the boundaries between folk and contemporary art.
