Overstreet's Flight Patterns series, created from 1969 to 1973, is at the center of this book. These intensely colored acrylic-on-canvas works are hung with ropes tethering them to the ceiling, floor, walls--a vital exploration of geometries and free-form installation. In addition, the book includes new studies of Overstreet's shaped canvas constructions of the 1960s and his mammoth Facing the Door of No Return works, quickly painted in a rush of inspiration after his 1992 trip to Senegal and encounter with the embarkation point of Africans shipped for enslavement in the New World. Essays on Overstreet's shaped canvases, Flight Patterns, and the Facing the Door of No Return paintings accompany full-color photographs of the works, and a detailed chronology places Overstreet's career in its time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Menil Collection \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Menil Collection, Houston, TX\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (January 24-July 13, 2025) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMississippi Museum of Art, Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (Fall 2025-Winter 2026)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Dup?cher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300282060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300282061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Menil Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Natalie Dup?cher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670367424767,"sku":"9780300282061","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joe-overstreet-natalie-dupcher-9780300282061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
