Wake Up Our Souls

Tonya Bolden

African American Artist

Wake Up Our Souls

Accompanying the much-publicized traveling exhibition, African American Masters, this book highlights influential and important African American 20th-century artists, from those of the early part of the century who were actively discouraged from pursuing their talents, to important participants in the Harlem Renaissance to modern and contemporary artists. The text also includes sidebars highlighting individual pictures and creators, completing a wonderful chapter in the history of American art and in African American life and achievement.

Published in conjunction with the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the nation's greatest repository of African American art, the book includes works by Romare Bearden, Roy DeCarava, Betye Saar, and Augusta Savage, among many others. From Faith Ringgold's fabric interpretation of the Harlem Renaissance, to Gordon Parks' celebrated 1996 photograph of Muhammad Ali, the paintings, sculptures, and photographs reproduced here reflect the rich and varied experience of African American artists in the 20th century.

Money Making Idea...

Do you like your dentist? Did you have a good experience with the realtor that sold you your house? Call them up and ask if they pay a referral fee for new clients. Ask them if they belong to a networking club and if you could come visit it to see if it was for you. Go and learn from that experience. Then write down on a separate page in your notebook a list of professions who always need new clients. By those professions, write the names of the people you know who practice that profession. You have a great start at creating a passive income stream, because you don't do much except recommend people you already like to people you also already like. It is a win/win/win situation! Bonus!
