A clear unspoken granted magic in 'Amy Sherald'

Amy Sherald opens next week at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, and we're prepping with an image from this recent exhibition catalog from CAM ST. Louis. Weighing in at just 36 pages, this is one of the most concise books on our list this season, and yet the 17 color images are so vibrant that we can't complain. Also, this so happens to be the only book out there on this rising American artist who burst into the popular consciousness with her now-iconic 2018 official portrait of Michelle Obama. Featured image is "A clear unspoken granted magic" (2017).
