Based on an exhibition from the permanent collection of the Mississippi Museum of Art, this book explores artwork produced within the state by artists who were native to or lived in Mississippi or by travelers who created work about the state. Patti Carr Black presents the overall theme of place in four sections: the influence of the land on the art, Mississippi's people as depicted in its art, life in Mississippi as observed by its artists, and the exporting of Mississippi culture through its artists. Numerous artists' biographies are included as well as more than one hundred full-color illustrations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49794161246481,"sku":"CIN1887422145G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1887422145.jpg?v=1763484380"},{"product_id":"art-in-mississippi-1720-1980-book-patti-carr-black-9781578060849","title":"Art in Mississippi, 1720-1980","description":"With this volume Patti Carr Black, former director of the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, has produced a much-needed work and brings together previous research with a vast amount of new information.  Copublished by the Mississippi Historical Society, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and the University Press of Mississippi, this elegant and comprehensive volume is the first of the Society's Heritage of Mississippi Series. Black has brought to the task a perspective on Mississippi art that was informed by a lifetime's dedication to art, years of curating museum exhibitions of Mississippi artists, and, specifically for this volume, three years of intensive research in museums and private collections around the country. In Art in Mississippi she focuses on several hundred significant artists and showcases in full color the work of more than two hundred.  Nationally acclaimed native Mississippians are here-George Ohr, Walter Anderson, Marie Hull, Theora Hamblett, William Dunlap, Sam Gilliam, William Hollings-worth, Jr., Karl Wolfe, Mildred Nungester Wolfe, John McCrady, Ed McGowin, James Seawright, and many others. Prominent artists who lived or worked in the state for a significant period of time are included as well-John James Audubon, Louis Comfort Tiffany, George Caleb Bingham, William Aiken Walker, and more. There are many surprises here, for Black has gathered so much remarkable art that readers will be staggered by the richness of the visual art tradition in Mississippi.  Black explores how art reflects the land and how modes of living and values dictated by Mississippi's changing topography created a variety of art forms. She demonstrates the influence of Mississippi's diverse cultures upon the art and shows how it has responded in many forms-painting, architecture, sculpture, fine crafts-to the changing aesthetics of national art movements. She observes that much art was created to fill immediate needs of the times-reverent depictions of the Civil War, highly wrought expressions of the intensely devout, and works of social realism that grappled with a changing society.  Those who have long been fascinated by the magnificent literature and music produced by this southern state will encounter yet another treasure trove in Art in Mississippi, 1720-1980. Students of Mississippi's phenomenal cultural history will be captivated by this splendid volume. Patti Carr Black has written and edited many books, including Agnes Grinstead Anderson's Approaching the Magic Hour: Memories of Walter Anderson, Made by Hand: Mississippi Folk Art, and Sea, Earth, Sky: The Art of Walter Anderson.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391560519953,"sku":"CIN1578060842G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1578060842.jpg?v=1751213005"},{"product_id":"history-of-greece-volume-11-book-patti-carr-black-9789357724272","title":"History of Greece, Volume 11","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51067508916497,"sku":"NIN9789357724272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687082422545,"sku":"NLS9789357724272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9357724273.jpg?v=1751254939"},{"product_id":"mississippi-piney-woods-book-patti-carr-black-9781023502610","title":"Mississippi Piney Woods","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035943461137,"sku":"NIN9781023502610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"touring-literary-mississippi-book-patti-carr-black-9781578063680","title":"Touring Literary Mississippi","description":"By taking the literary traveler on seven preplanned tours--through the Delta, along Highway 61, to the heart of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha country, to sites near Interstate 55 and the Natchez Trace, to the piney woods of East and South Mississippi, and along the sun-struck Gulf Coast--this book captures the phenomenal abundance and diversity of Mississippi literature.  More than a guidebook, this book includes capsule biographies and well over a hundred photographs of writers, their residences, and their literary environments. It also provides maps and gives explicit directions to writers' homes and other literary sites.  The sheer number of writers discovered, recovered, and claimed by Mississippi will astonish travelers both from within and from without the state. Included are not only such major figures in the pantheon of American literature as William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, and Richard Wright but also the less well-known.  Every nook and cranny of the state claims a piece of Mississippi's literary heritage. Literature pervades Yazoo City, Jackson, Greenville, Oxford, Natchez, the Gulf Coast, and the Delta Blues country. Willie Morris, Richard Ford, and Beverly Lowry have declared that a famous writer's presence in their hometowns convinced them that they too could be writers.  As the locations bring to life the connection of ordinary rituals with the stuff of fiction, poetry, and memoir, these hands-on tours make evident the special cross-pollination of writer and community in Mississippi. Patti Carr Black is the author of Art in Mississippi, 1720-1980 and The Southern Writers Quiz Book (both published by the University Press of Mississippi). Marion Barnwell, a fiction writer and an assistant professor of English at Delta State University, compiled and edited A Place Called Mississippi (published by the University Press of Mississippi).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53577738453265,"sku":"CIN157806368XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781578063680.jpg?v=1779296479"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-patti-carr-black.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
