Discover the skill, determination, and resilience of African American artist Winfred Rembert in the first widely available monograph on his powerful, profoundly original oeuvre. Born and raised in the Deep South during the time of Jim Crow law, Winfred Rembert began his full-time artistic practice at the age of fifty-one, following a life of extreme hardship that saw him survive multiple arrests, a near-lynching, and seven years on chain gangs. These harrowing experiences would prove central to the narrative of his extraordinary art-a striking visual memoir which chronicles both Rembert's personal story and a wider history of race and injustice inAmerica. Working in carved and tooled leather-using skills he learned while incarcerated-Rembert created a unique body of powerful, autobiographical work. The first widely available monograph on the artist, this book presents Rembert's paintings alongside contributions by curator Dr. Zoé Whitley, historian Dr. Dan Berger, poet and lawyer Reginald Dwayne Betts, and Rembert's wife, Patsy. Serving as a comprehensive resource on the artist, Winfred Rembert is a testament to the vital space of resistance created by visual storytelling.
