Alone in a Crowd: Prints of the 1930s–40s by African-American Artists, From the Collection of Reba and Dave Williams, 1993, 9" x 11", 60 pages, 27 black-and-white reproductions, eight color reproductions, essays by M. Stephen Doherty, Lowery Stokes Sims, Reba and Dave Williams, and Leslie King-Hammond, biographies of more than 40 artists.
This catalogue documents a period of time when black artists were given their first significant opportunity to learn printmaking techniques. Studios that were set up under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, and other locations offered instruction to those artists, and charitable organizations such as the Rosenwald Foundation made it possible for the artists to travel and study outside the United States.
The publication is a unique document of an important social and artistic development. $15 + shipping and handling
