Black Art Renaissance - African Sculpture and Modernism Across Continents

"By giving the African side of the story of modernism and primitivism, Joshua Cohen changes the way we think about transnational encounters in a sensitive and enlightening way. A fascinating journey through unpublished archives and visual material that leads the reader to a new understanding of twentieth-century interconnected histories. A must-read."—Maureen Murphy, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University

"Cohen’s study of modernism is rich in original archival research. He adopts a new, critical approach that both unpacks the ways Picasso used African sources and disaggregates the different manifestations of the notion of 'black art' across continents and across the twentieth century. It is a most fitting addition to the literature in the field."—Anitra Nettleton, Emeritus Professor, History of Art, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
