First sentence: This publication and the accompanying exhibition, "African-American Artists, 1929-1945: Prints, Drawings, and Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art," focus on a very specific period-the years 1929 to 1945-one in which catastrophic economic and political events ironically led to a revitalization of the arts in America.
