This book, conceived with Whitten's collaboration shortly before his death in 2018, brings his work into focus, highlighting in particular the themes of history, politics, and music. As a young man in Alabama, Whitten was angered by the racism he experienced. When he moved to New York City, he was inspired by the Abstract Expressionists dominating the art scene there. This book examines Whitten's influences and alliances--including his relationship to his mentors Norman Lewis and Willem de Kooning--to trace how the artist never stopped experimenting and innovating. His riotously colorful oils gave way to massive acrylic "Slab" paintings. These were followed by kaleidoscopic mosaic paintings that capture and redirect light; the "Black Monoliths" series, memorializing Whitten's personal heroes; and his later works, which embrace technology and the digital age 546 Parallel texts in English and German 600 10 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018|vExhibitions 600 10 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018|xCriticism and interpretation 600 10 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018|xThemes, motives 600 14 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018 600 17 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018.|2fast 648 7 1900-talet|2sao 648 7 2000-talet|2sao 648 7 1900-2099|2fast 650 0 Painting, Abstract|y20th century|vExhibitions 650 0 Painting, Abstract|y21st century|vExhibitions 650 0 African American art|zUnited States|y20th century |vExhibitions 650 0 African American art|zUnited States|y21st century |vExhibitions 650 0 African American artists|zAlabama|y20th century |vExhibitions 650 0 African American artists|zAlabama|y21st century |vExhibitions 650 0 Art, Abstract 650 0 Painting, Abstract 650 0 African American artists 650 0 African American art 650 7 Abstrakt konst|2sao 650 7 Afro-amerikansk konst|2sao 650 7 Afro-amerikanska konstnärer|2sao 651 4 Förenta staterna 651 7 Alabama|2sao 655 7 Utställningskataloger|2gmgpc//swe 655 7 Exhibition catalogs.|2lcgft 655 7 Essays.|2lcgft 655 7 Illustrated works.|2lcgft 700 1 Kittelmann, Udo|4aut|4edt 700 1 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018|4art 700 1 Beckstette, Sven|4aut|4edt 700 12 Whitten, Jack,|d1939-2018.|tWorks.|kSelections 710 2 Staatliche Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz|ehost institution.|4isb|4orm 710 2 Prestel Verlag|4isb 752 Germany|bBerlin|dBerlin 752 Germany|bBavaria|dMunich 776 08 |imuseum edition|z9783886098163
