Published to accompany his first museum retrospective, this catalogue surveys Henderson’s paintings and films from 1965 to 1985, which are rooted as much in Francisco Goya’s horror of humanity as in Sun Ra’s hope for a new Black future. In the work of that time, Henderson depicted scenes of racial violence, heteromasculinity, and abject social conditions with force and unflinching directness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1985, a studio fire damaged much of Henderson’s output from the previous two decades, obscuring vital ideas about a time of tumult and change, often referred to as a world on fire. \u003cem\u003eMike Henderson: Before the Fire, 1965–1985\u003c\/em\u003e addresses Henderson’s multifaceted art of that period, which examined and offered new ideas about Black life in the visual languages of protest, Afrofuturism, and surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, University of California, Davis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition dates:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e January 29–June 25, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431611941100,"sku":"9780520388055","price":85.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520388055.jpg?v=1774557486","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mike-henderson-9780520388055","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
