Her process-oriented practice embraces the improvisational to create a space for her continually evolving vocabulary. From 1979 to 1981, Hawkins documented these developments in a journal. A record of routine and the everyday, the journal also gathers sketches, notes for new and in-progress works, and responses to contemporary art and criticism, bringing the artist's reflections into relief. \u003ci\u003eArt Notes, Art\u003c\/i\u003e also offers a picture of the burgeoning Black-owned gallery scene in New York that Hawkins was an important participant in--including Just Above Midtown, where she had her first solo exhibition in 1981--as well as the women artists' circle she was an active member of. \u003ci\u003eArt Notes, Art\u003c\/i\u003e is richly illustrated with works by the artist produced during this key period, photographs and ephemera, and a visual archive of contemporaneous work by her peers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.4 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754950525216,"sku":"9781954939059","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/91e6b1b0bad34efcb5ea7b98446705f0.webp?v=1780047073","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/cynthia-hawkins-art-notes-art-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
