Summary:

"Meaning Matter Memory is a catalogue of artworks in the Studio Museum in Harlem's permanent collection. This collection catalogue features beautiful illustrations of significant works by more than 250 artists of African descent accompanied by original texts from more than 100 voices in the art world, including writers, scholars, artists, and critics. Celebrating myriad voices and artistic media, styles, and eras, Meaning Matter Memory glimpses into the profound and manifold artistic achievements made by Black artists for over 200 years. The catalogue exhibits and carries forward a principal tenet of the Studio Museum's mission: to serve as the stewards of the work -- old, new, and still to be created -- by artists of African descent."-- Provided by publisher.
