In its chapters, leading Black scholars from multiple disciplines deploy materialist approaches to challenge the limits of canonic art history, rooted as it is in social and racial inequities. The opening essay by Key Jo Lee introduces the concept of \"perceptual drift\" a means of exploring the matter of Blackness, or Blackness as matter in art and scholarship. Christina Sharpe examines \u003ci\u003eRho I\u003c\/i\u003e (1977) by Jack Whitten; Lee explores Lorna Simpson's \u003ci\u003eCure\/Heal\u003c\/i\u003e (1992); Robin Coste Lewis analyzes Ellen Gallagher's \u003ci\u003eBouffant Pride\u003c\/i\u003e (2003); and Erica Moiah James considers Simone Leigh's \u003ci\u003eLas Meninas\u003c\/i\u003e (2019). This approach seeks to transform how art history is written, introduce readers to complex objects and theoretical frameworks, illuminate meanings and untold histories, and simultaneously celebrate and open new entry points into Black art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Cleveland Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Key Jo Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300263929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300263923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cleveland Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 9.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Key Jo Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829701472511,"sku":"9780300263923","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcdbc357-20b7-41bc-b26f-4db1a4f4505e.jpg?v=1708451432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perceptual-drift-key-jo-lee-9780300263923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
