{"product_id":"kerry-james-marshall-rythm-mastr","title":"Kerry James Marshall. Rythm Mastr","description":"In 1999 American artist Kerry James Marshall began working on his comics series \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e in response to what he perceived as the historic absence of black characters and authors in the comics industry. Initially serialized in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for eight weeks, \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e was eventually presented as an installation on the occasion of the 1999\/2000 Carnegie International, where the newspaper pages would cover the vitrines of the Carnegie Museum Treasure Room. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In contrast with characters such as the Black Panther or the Falcon, \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the daily struggle of black people, elevating events like gang crimes and public houses demolition to epic proportion while following the adventures of the two protagonists, i\u0026gt;Rythm Mastr, and his young protégé, Farell. Over the course of the past two decades, \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e has been presented in various incarnations, including light boxes, paintings and drawings. Thing came full circle when, almost twenty years later, \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e was exhibited again in an updated form at the 2018 Carnegie international. This book is the most comprehensive discussion of \u003ci\u003eRythm Mastr\u003c\/i\u003e to date, chronicling its genesis and developments, as well as offering a deep analysis of Marshall's motivations and aspirations when he started the series.","brand":"Ludion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42866726174756,"sku":"9789493039513","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9789493039513.jpg?v=1773271229","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/kerry-james-marshall-rythm-mastr","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
