Book Synopsis Nancy Elizabeth Prophet by : Sarah Ganz Blythe
Book excerpt: "This book explores the career and legacy of Nancy Elizabeth Prophet (1890-1960), whose figural sculptures embody her uncompromising sovereignty over her work and life. Through original essays, catalogue entries on Prophet's major works, and an illustrated chronology of her remarkable life, this book demonstrates how Prophet continues to inspire a new generation of artists and viewers today. Contributors trace her transatlantic career, from Parisian ateliers to Spelman College, and consider topics such as the art institutions Prophet navigated, the stylistic connections between her figurative sculpture and the work of her modernist contemporaries, and how she resisted predetermined conceptions of her cultural identity."--
