• For Your Consideration: • A First Edition, First Printing HARDCOVER in VG+ / UNREAD CONDITION: • “THORNTON DIAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY” (TINWOOD BOOKS, 2005) (HARDCOVER, First Edition, First Printing)• BY PAUL ARNETT, WILLIAM ARNET, JOANNE CUBBS, AMIRI BARAKA, & OTHERS • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “Preternaturally gifted.MR. DIAL…looks dumbfoundingly adept to some of us because his energy and fluent line, abstracted in maelstroms of color, easily call to mind POLLACK and DE KOONING.” —NEW YORK TIMES • “Tour-de-force paintings so feral in their wrath, so exuberant in their invention, so monumental, playful, profound, and technically proficient…the sheer tumultuous force of his mammoth multimedia works make the more conventional traditions look timid in comparison.…” —NEWSDAY • “It happens to every reviewer, once in a while: When least expected, you come across an artist whose work knocks you off your tracks and silences you, utterly…. In this case, how can one describe the paintings and drawings of THORNTON DIAL, after meeting them for the first time?….What stands out is his torrential energy, and his uninhibited boldness of execution. With his instincts on fire he plunges headlong into the arena of creations. He is as bold as PICASSO and as sure of himself as MATISSE ever was.” —CREATIVE LOAFING • “Since 2000, THORNTON DIAL (born 1928) has embarked on one of the most remarkable creative journeys in American visual art. Following his discovery by the art world in the late 1980s, he became in the 1990s a widely known American artist. Coinciding with the turn of the millennium, DIAL has spent the eighth decade of his life on overlapping cycles of epic-scale artworks that summarize the grand sweep of his improbable life’s story.“Born in a cornfield to an unwed teenage mother, DIAL grew up in rural Emelle, in Alabama’s western flatlands. He began full-time farm work at age five and managed to attend school only rarely. On the eve of World War II, he was sent to live with relatives in Bessemer, just outside Birmingham. There he married, raised a family, and worked for half a century in heavy industry, building highways, houses, and ultimately box-cars during a thirty-year stint at the Pullman-Standard plant.“DIAL’s life encompasses many of the most consequential episodes in twentieth-century African American life—share-cropping in the Black Belt, migration from country to city, the upheavals of the civil rights era, and the ethnic conundrums of a rapidly changing postmodern America. As JOHN BEARDSLEY writes, ‘DIAL’s life is inseparable from history because he has made it his business as an artist to be a historian. DIAL lived history, then he represented it in paintings and sculptures….’“From childhood on, DIAL built ‘things’ using whatever he could salvage, recycling even his own work to reuse materials in new creations. DIAL referred to what he made only as ‘things,’ though late in life he found out that others called them ‘art.’ Having developed during the era of racial segregation, DIAL’s style is both personal and culturally rich, and it speaks with a resolute voice that was denied him through the years as a black factory worker.“In DIAL’s art, intense surfaces, multilayered narratives, shifting compositional relationships, and a metaphysical concern with issues of recycling and ancestry exist hand in hand with an ironic, earthy wit and an almost religious determination to make art’s complexities and mysteries central to the human understanding of reality.“DIAL works from within southern African American vernacular traditions, the same cultural impulse that gave birth to blues, jazz, and rock ’n’ roll. From these roots has emerged an epic, twenty-first-century art whose sophistication and ambition confound all aesthetic categories. DIAL’s art transcends labels and bankrupts dichotomies between ‘fine’ and ‘folk,’ ‘inside’ and ‘outside,’ ‘high’ art and ‘low.’ “With illuminating essays by leading critics and art historians, an in-depth biography of the artist, and explorations of the southern black art traditions that underlie the artist’s visual vocabulary, THORTON DIAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY maps new terrain for the study of American art“This lavishly illustrated monograph has been published on the occasion of a groundbreaking exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Tinwood Alliance. THORTON DIAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY follows the artist’s explorations of interlinked topics, including a haunting suite of works about September 11, 2001; contemporary ‘history paintings’ on life in America since the events of 9/11; homages to his friends, the women quiltmakers of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, and their craft; a new type of ‘art about art’ in which DIAL responds to works from disparate cultural dialogues (including art by academically trained and vernacular artists): memories of vanishing ways of life and his childhood in the south; and evocations of human struggles for freedom. “Reproduced here are 118 recent paints and sculptures—virtu8ally all of the artist’s output from this five-year period—as well as nearly 30 works on paper and a rich overview of DIAL’s work from before 2000.” —THE PUBLISHER • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “THORNTON DIAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY” ARTIST: THORNTON DIAL CONTRIBUTORS: PAUL ARNETT, WILLIAM ARNET, JOANNE CUBBS, AMIRI BARAKA, MARK LAWRENCE McPHAIL, EUGUNE W.

For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS.
