Art of the New Civil Rights Era
Letter from the Editor
Dr. Huey Copeland
On influences, the stakes of art history, and pushing the binaries of art historical imagination.
The Infinite Nature of Black
Artist Paul Stephen Benjamin’s work explores the relevance, resonance, and poetics of the color black and ranges across media including photography, painting, video, and sculpture. We discussed his belief in simplicity, the relationship between interpretation and artist intention, and the experience of preparing for his solo debut in New York City.
Behind the Screen(print) with Amy Pleasant
In late 2018, we reached out to artist Amy Pleasant and invited her to create an edition of prints for the 20th Annual ART PAPERS Auction. Sarah Higgins caught up with Amy on the final day of a week-long visit to the University of Georgia’s Lamar Dodd School of the Arts.
