“Black Artists: Up Against the Wall”, Village Voice,
Sept. 11, 1978, notes
about ‘Contextures’ “(the editors) have rewritten the
History of post-war
American art to place black artists…within a mainstream context. They invented the term contextures to name the often funky, deeply personal,
neo-primitivizing styles that are typified by Saar,
Ringgold and Nengudi, as
well as …David Hammons, Houston Conwill,
Randy Williams…”
