A riveting conversation between the two artists, touching on seminal influences, experiences and practicesThis thought-provoking publication presents a fecund dialogue between Chicago-based painter McArthur Binion (born 1946) and New York-based photographer Jules Allen (born 1947), two American artists taking different approaches to rendering the Black experience. To illustrate their interactions, Binion contributes a new series of paintings and Allen contributes his most recent images as well as a collection of archival black-and-white photographs. In a sinuous, stimulating conversation, the long-term friends discuss their musical influences, education and shared experiences developing their skills as artists in New York.
