All Art Friday Spotlights
✦ In November, the University of California Press published art historian Rebecca Peabody's Consuming Stories: Kara Walker and the Imagining of American Race. In the 216-page book, Peabody, who heads Research Projects and Programs at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, investigates how through her art Kara Walker narratively depicts race, gender, power, and desire. This is an important and timely book.
