Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick

Sale price$50

Renowned for his vivid representations of Black subjects, Barkley L. Hendricks (1945–2017) redefined the genre from the late 1960s onward. This essential book situates his work within the historical context of America’s evolving cultural landscape, highlighting his innovative spirit amidst the shifting tides of abstraction and representation.

Featuring striking examples from his early portraiture, including “limited-palette” canvases and vibrant depictions that celebrate style and individuality, this volume showcases the breadth of Hendricks's artistic journey. Influenced by his research and travels, as well as visits to The Frick Collection, Hendricks drew inspiration from masters like Rembrandt and Van Dyck.
