Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool accompanies the first career retrospective of the renowned American artist Barkley L. Hendricks. Hendricks was born in 1945 in Philadelphia. His unique work contains elements of both American realism and postmodernism, occupying a space between the portraitists Chuck Close and Alex Katz and the pioneering black conceptualists David Hammons and Adrian Piper. Hendricks is best known for his life-sized portraits of people of color from the urban northeast. His bold portrayal of his subject's attitude and style elevates the common person to celebrity status. Cool, empowering, and sometimes confrontational, Hendricks' artistic privileging of a culturally complex black body has paved the way for today's younger generation of artists. This richly illustrated book contains 100 color images of paintings created from 1964 to the present. It focuses primarily on the artist's full-figure portraits, as well as lesser known early works and the artist's more recent portal-like landscape paintings. The catalog includes the most comprehensive bibliography on Hendricks to date, a timeline of the artist's life, and an interview with the artist by Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem. It also includes essays by Barkley L. Hendricks, Duke University art historian Richard J. Powell, exhibition curator Trevor Schoonmaker, and Franklin Sirmans, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Menil Collection.

As described—great for exfoliating and saving soap bits
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
These myHomeBody soap pockets are exactly as described. They work well for exfoliating in the shower and are especially handy for using up leftover soap bits. The mesh is just rough enough for a good scrub without being too harsh on the skin. The graphite gray color looks nice and doesn’t stain. The included lift pads are a nice bonus to keep bars dry between uses. Great value for a practical 2-pack.
Q&A Section:
Q: Are these gentle enough for daily use?
A: Yes, the mesh exfoliates effectively but is still comfortable on the skin for daily use.
Q: Can you fit a full bar of soap inside?
A: Absolutely—fits full-size bars or small leftover pieces.
Q: What are the lift pads for?
A: They keep your soap elevated and dry between uses to extend its life.
Q: Do the pockets lather well?
A: Yes, they create a good lather and help stretch out your soap use.

Nice for the price
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
I thought they would be really rough when I got them, but they softened up. You get a nice scrub without being too rough.
They are well built and look like they should last.
They lather up well too
Very happy with this purchase
