Betye Saar: Black Doll Blues Saar Betye
An investigation into Saar's lifelong interest in Black dolls, with new watercolors, historic assemblages, sketchbooks and a selection of Black dolls from the artist's collectionThis volume features new watercolor works on paper and assemblages by Betye Saar (born 1926) that incorporate the artist's personal collection of Black dolls. While Saar has previously used painting in her mixed-media collages, this is the first publication to focus on her watercolor works on paper. These watercolors showcase the artist's experimentation with vivid color and layered techniques, and her new interest in flat shapes.
Referencing the underrepresented history of Black dolls through Saar's artistic lens, this catalog distills several "Watercolor is something that children use, so I decided, maybe I'll paint something about children, maybe I'll paint the dolls," Saar says.
