Description: Baldwin's life and legacy as remembered by a pantheon of artists and writers: from Jamaica Kincaid and Barry Jenkins to Richard Avedon and Alice Neel When author James Baldwin died in 1987, he left behind an extraordinary body of work: novels poems film scripts and perhaps most indelibly essays. A friend and supporter of Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X and Medgar Evers Baldwin was a critical voice in the civil rights movement. After reaching acclaim in his early career as a writer he struggled to retain the author's I while taking on the we of the people. Edited by Pulitzer Prize winning author Hilton Als and growing out of his landmark exhibition at David Zwirner in 2019, God Made My Face brings together an impressive assembly of contributors ranging from Baldwin biographer David Leeming to novelist Jamaica Kincaid and Moonlight director Barry Jenkins to create a memorial mosaic: one that not only mirrors Baldwin's various tones but also closely examines his singular contributions to cinema theater the essay and Black American critical studies. These essays are illustrated by artwork from modern and contemporary artists who were either personal contemporaries of Baldwin or directly inspired by his work. In each piece assembled here the authors speak from a personal informed perspective illuminating Baldwin's deeply anguished and enlightened voice and his belief that ultimately because we are human we share the potential to love connect and live together in all our glory. Artists include: Diane Arbus Eug ne Atget Richard Avedon Don Bachardy Alvin Baltrop Anthony Barboza Njideka Akunyili Crosby Beauford Delaney Marlene Dumas Glenn Ligon George Mc Calman Alice Neel Elle P rez Cameron Rowland Kara Walker James Welling Larry Wolhandler. Authors include: Stephen Best Daphne A. Brooks Teju Cole Marianne Jean - Baptiste Barry Jenkins Jamaica Kincaid David Leeming Darryl Pinckney.
