Reviews
"The contemporary painter's defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the 'sublime' buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures."-- New York Times Book Review , "10 Giftworthy Visual Books" "A landmark publication for one of the most influential American painters working today, this volume brings together nearly all of Sherald's paintings to date. Her figures--poised, dignified and arrestingly present--are situated within the lineage of American realism while unmistakably her own."--Megan Fox Kelly, Observer.com , "Art Books Shaping Summer 2025" Recommended for holiday giving by Town & Country "Sublime, indeed."-- Emily Raboteau, Apollo, "The contemporary painter's defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the 'sublime' buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures."-- New York Times Book Review , "10 Giftworthy Visual Books" Recommended for holiday giving by Town & Country "Sublime, indeed."-- Emily Raboteau, Apollo, "The contemporary painter's defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the 'sublime' buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures."-- New York Times Book Review , "10 Giftworthy Visual Books" Recommended for holiday giving by Town & Country

Synopsis
Amy Sherald's work, life, and significance for American art, as revealed in her powerful figurative paintings of Black subjects, Amy Sherald's work, life, and significance for American art, as revealed in her powerful figurative paintings of Black subjects "The contemporary painter's defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the 'sublime' buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures."--New York Times Book Review, "10 Giftworthy Visual Books" Bringing together nearly all of her artwork to date, this lavishly illustrated volume situates the work of Amy Sherald (b. 1973) within the context of American realist and figurative painting. Encompassing the full arc of her career, from her poetic early works to the distinctive figure paintings and portraits that have become her hallmark, Amy Sherald: American Sublime unfolds her method of selecting individuals she meets on the street and using facial expression, body language, and clothing choices to create paintings that transcend portraiture and expand the canon of American art. Essays by curators Sarah Roberts and Rhea Combs; poet and writer Elizabeth Alexander; artist Dario Calmese; and renowned scholar Deborah Willis contextualize and illuminate Sherald's creation of a new form of imaginative portraiture. Often depicting her subjects' skin in gray monochrome, surrounded by few markers of place, time, or context beyond the clothes they wear, Sherald challenges the assumption that Black life is inextricably bound with struggle, creating images that engage in more expansive thinking about race and representation and the wide-open possibilities and complexities of every individual. Whether a passerby or the former first lady Michelle Obama, Sherald's subjects are at ease with themselves, the world, and one another.
