Description: Amy Sherald's work, life, and significance for American art, as revealed in her powerful figurative paintings of Black subjects
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
