The Other Side of Color: African American Art in the Collection of Camille O. and William H. Cosby Jr. - book review
Ebony, Nov, 2002
(Pomegranate, $65.00) is a coffee-table book that will do more than adorn the living room. Artist and scholar David C. Driskell, one of the world's leading authorities on African-American art, includes both full-color reproductions of the works, many of them previously unpublished, as well as incisive text analysis.
Since 1977, he has served as the cultural advisor to Camille and Bill Cosby and is curator of the Cosby Collection of Fine Arts, a collection of more than 300 African-American paintings, prints, sculptures and drawings. In separate introductions, Dr. William H. Cosby Jr. and Dr. Camille O. Cosby tell how they started their collection and why Black families should preserve their cultural history.
