520    Jack Whitten's alluring and inventive paintings are part 
       of the collections of some of the world's most prominent 
       museums and galleries--but this profoundly inventive 
       artist worked primarily under the radar for most of his 
       life. 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
