• W320074211 abstract "Art in Mississippi 1720-1980 By Patti Carr Black University Press of Mississippi, 1998 359 pp. Cloth, $60.00 H. L. Mencken wrote in 1917 that you come to ... painters, sculptors, architects, and like, you will have to give it up, for there is not even a bad one between Potomac mud-flats and Gulf, and he was generally assumed to be correct. Seventy-three years later William Gerdts explained in second volume of his masterly Art Across America that the art of South has, until recently, been terra incognita.... Post-Civil War artistic activity has not only been ignored but even denied, presumed to have been a victim of war's devastation. It has only been in past decade that a fair evaluation of art of South has begun. Gerdts also added that southern art had not yet been absorbed into mainstream American art history and art markets. Southern art history was like a huge puzzle with all pieces face down. Gradually, pieces are being turned up, edges are being found, and picture is coming clear. The process began slowly but has been accelerating of late. Patti Cart Black's Art in Mississippi 1720-1980 and Richard J. Powell and Jock Reynolds's To Conserve a Legacy: American Art from Historical Black Colleges and Universities are two of most recent attempts to fill in gaps. The first show of southern art to gain national attention was at Corcoran in 1960. It included work by sixty artists--124 paintings (c. 1710 to 1860s) mostly done in Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and District of Columbia. There was then a long dry spell until 1983, when Virginia Museum opened Painting in South: 1564-1980 and Jessie Poesch published her magisterial Art of Old South. Interest increased rapidly after that. In 1984 Art and Artists of South: The Robert P. Coggins Collection opened in Columbia, South Carolina, and traveled South for over two years. In 1985 dealer Robert Hicklin organized touring show The South on Paper. Also in 1985 Greenville County (South Carolina) Museum made inspired decision to concentrate on southern art; since then it has offered a succession of shows highlighting work of southern artists and has built a fine permanent collection. In 1989 William S. Morris III bought Coggins collection, basis for Morris Museum of Art, which opened in Augusta in 1992 and which is devoted entirely to southern art. Its first publication, A Southern Collection, by Estill Curtis Pennington, contains an extensive survey of study of southern art to 1992. Other notable additions to canon include Lisa Howorth's beautiful book The South: A Treasury of Art and Literature (1993) and a spate of other books by Pennington. As a result of all this activity, when Gerdts wrote his introduction to Greenville County Museum of Art: The Southern Collection in 1995, he made stunning assertion that his library houses, by region, more substantial studies of southern art ... than of any other region. The holes in puzzle have continued to be filled in, notably with additions of Art in American South: Works from Ogden Collection (1996) and Georgia Museum of Art's The American Scene and South: Paintings and Works on Paper, 1930-1946 (1996). Now we have two excellent books that help to reveal significant areas of panorama of southern art. The first, Patti Carr Black's Art in Mississippi: 1730-1980, is, as one would expect, beautiful. But it is also scholarly, well written, and thorough. Eventually it will need updating, but I cannot imagine that it will ever have to be replaced or even seriously revised. It covers nearly every aspect of vernacular and highbrow art, architecture, and crafts. The author is well read in literature and history, and she skillfully places art in context. The book will be an essential reference tool, but it is also a pleasure to read (except for dull but useful lists inevitable in such a survey). …" @default.
