Hard Truths / The Art of Thornton Dial
New York: Indianapolis Museum of Art / Delmonico Books (Prestel), 2011.
First U.S. Edition. Hardcover.
The work of contemporary African American artist Thorton Dial (1928-2016). Born in poverty in Alabama, Dial’s work is informed by decades of struggle as a black working-class man living in the American South. His works include haunting reflections on homelessness, global conflict, the tragedy of 9/11, and African American history.
A catalogue of an extensive exhibition held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, this book focuses on twenty years of Dial’s life as an artist and explores the deep allegorical meanings of his paintings and sculptures. Dial’s work offers a vision of the world that invites us to examine even our hardest truths.
