In partnership with the Benny Andrews Estate and the Andrews-Humphrey Family Foundation, this expanded edition of Between the Lines, brings together Benny Andrews's long-out-of-print collection of seven drawings and seven essays with new scholarship focused on his life, work, and legacy. Originally published in 1978, the book includes essays that confront racism and power in the art world--most notably his seminal text Understanding Black Art. The drawings, rendered in his distinctive contour line, span subjects ranging from his early life in Georgia to the surreal symbolism of his Bicentennial Series.
