African Americans, civil rights, Jesse Owens / Amanda Chestnut.
"Several years ago, Rochester-based artist Amanda Chestnut was researching in Visual Studies Workshop's Soibelman Syndicate News Agency Archives and observed how photographs of Black subjects were treated differently than images of non-Black people and subjects. Not only did the photographers and the news agency treat the subjects differently, but our organization's archivists clearly had as well. As a 2020 resident in VSW's Project Space, Chestnut worked with us to publish this remarkable archive/book that re-claims the other-ness of Black photographic subjects as well as the innumerable attempts to personally other the Black artist and her family for much of her life."--Publisher's web site <https://bookstore.vsw.org/product/african-americans-civil-rights-jesse-owens>, accessed 24 June 2021

Ampersand / David Kimmel.
Title from character on cover panel. ; Materials used may include: brass, copper, maple wood, magnets, hinges, wood letterpress cuts. ; I am attracted to the technical and the relational qualities of combining objects and mediums together through book arts, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and metal smithing. Patterns begin to emerge and relationships form between different materials so that the viewer engages with the piece in a personal way. The inspirations for the letterpress books were my parents. My father painted landscapes in oil from barns and windmills to cows and cowboys. My mother tole painted and did decorative arts for many years. If it stood still long enough to paint it, she probably did. Both my parents grew up on farms in North Dakota, and they inspired the imagery that is on the letterpress books--Artist's statement, 23 Sandy Gallery WWW site, as viewed on June 3, 2016. ; Hinged covers open to reveal four etchings on copper or wood panels that form one scene of a farm with cows, and another of a cowboy rounding up cows near a windmill.

The type is set to suggest a windblown effect and is embellished with typographic ornaments and leaves some of which have been hand colored.
