African American*, bookworks*, men*, power lines*
  • African American - Designates the styles surrounding the culture and heritage of African Americans in North America. The styles capture the essence of the African American experience and how personal and political rebellion and triumphs over prejudice and social adversity have enriched and contributed to the music, art, and literature of American culture as a whole.
  • bookworks - Artists' books that exploit the book form or alter its physical structure as part of the content of the work. Also includes works where emphasis is on the fine crafting of the book. For sculptures that look like or incorporate books but do not communicate in the ways characteristic of books, use "book objects."
  • men - Refers to male human beings from young adulthood through old age.
  • power lines - Wires used for transmitting a supply of electrical energy to buildings.
