Flash of the Spirit: African and Afro-American Art and Philosophy

Flash of the Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy - Robert Farris Thompson I just watched the documentary "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child" and he mentions this book as being one of the best books he's ever read. This is a really stellar book and I have yet to see anyone approach the topic of African/Afro-American Art in the same way since.
