Résumé
'This is the first extensive monograph on the work of British artist and Turner Prize winner Lubaina Himid Including the artist's own writing from the 1990s to the present day alongside archival images and documentation from recent exhibitions and projects' Artist's website ; One of the pioneers of the British Black Arts Movement Lubaina Himid first came to prominence in the 1980s when she began organising exhibitions of work by her peers whom she felt were underrepresented in the contemporary art scene Himid's work challenges the stereotypical depictions of black figures in art history foregrounding the contribution of the African diaspora to Western culture 'Invisible Strategies' brings together a wide range of Himid's paintings from the 1980s to the present day as well as sculptures ceramics and works on paper The exhibition opens with Himid's monumental Freedom and Change 1984 which appropriates and transforms the female figures from Picasso's 'Two Women Running on the Beach' ('The Race' 1922 into black women powerfully and humorously subverting one of the most canonical paintings in Western art history Containing many works shown for the first time in decades alongside pieces neverbefore seen in a public gallery this exhibition highlights Himid's consistently thoughtprovoking and distinctive visual style
