Description:
"I'm drawn to expressions of humanity. I want [viewers] to think about who these people are, what it's like to interact with them, what stories they might be telling"--Amy Sherald
Review Quotes: "The contemporary painter's defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the 'sublime' buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures."--New York Times Book Review, "10 Giftworthy Visual Books"
"A landmark publication for one of the most influential American painters working today, this volume brings together nearly all of Sherald's paintings to date. Her figures--poised, dignified and arrestingly present--are situated within the lineage of American realism while unmistakably her own."--Megan Fox Kelly, Observer.com, "Art Books Shaping Summer 2025" Recommended for holiday giving by Town & Country "Sublime, indeed."-- Emily Raboteau, Apollo
