Synopsis:
The Julius Rosenwald Fund has been largely ignored in the literature of both art history and African American studies, despite its unique focus, intensity, and commitment. Spertus Museum in Chicago has organized an exhibition, guest curated by Daniel Schulman, that presents and explores the work of funded artists as well as the history of the Fund. Through it, and this accompanying collection of essays, illustrations, and color plates, we see the Fund's groundbreaking initiative to address issues relating to the unequal treatment of blacks in American life. The book constitutes a veritable who's who of African American artists and intellectuals of the first half of the twentieth century, as well as a roll call of modern contributors who represent the leading scholars in their fields, including Peter M. Ascoli, grandson and biographer of Julius Rosenwald, and Kinshasha Holman Conwill, deputy director of the National Museum of African American Art and Culture. With far-reaching influence even today, the Julius Rosenwald Fund stands alongside the Rockefeller and Carnegie funds as a major force in American cultural history. This book takes an illuminating look at an innovative fund and the opportunities it brought to African American artists.
About the Author: Daniel Schulman is the guest curator of the exhibition, A Force for Change, which begins its run at Spertus Museum in February 2009. He is an independent art historian who lives in Chicago.

See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> SPERTUS MUSEUM IS PROUD to partner with the Terra Foundation for American Art and contribute to its citywide initiative American Art American City. We are pleased to be part of such an important civic celebration, which embraces many Chicago cultural institutions and a variety of subjects as well as an ever- expanding and open-ended notion of what constitutes American art. With our new building and our new programming, our museum hopes to reach the broad American public through a likewise open-ended engagement with art viewed through a Jewish lens. A Force for Change: African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund, like all of our programs, has many layers. As an exhibition of African American art from the 1920s to '40s, it may seem, at first glance, an unusual subject for a Jewish museum. Yet, the artists we include were supported at a crucial time in their ca- reers, and when support for African American (SP). Seller Inventory # Batch-FM455-VG-10261
