Book Overview

by Mavis Pusey (Artist), Thelma Golden (Foreword by), Johanna Burton (Foreword by)

"[Pusey] was a builder and a breaker, a composer of surfaces that vibrate. Her abstractions are alive with feeling, frequency, and vision." --Chenoa Baker, the Brooklyn Rail

Published with The Studio Museum in Harlem.

Jamaican-born artist Mavis Pusey (1928-2019) developed her clean, graphic style of hard-edge abstraction from her education in fashion design and her time spent working in the fashion industry. Her paintings and prints abound with architectural shapes and patterns. Mobile Images is the first major catalog dedicated to Pusey's long-overlooked practice. It brings together newly commissioned scholarship by Hallie Ringle, Valerie Cassel Oliver, Cecilia González Godino and Kiki Teshome, each addressing a different aspect of Pusey's practice--from her transnational biography and commitment to abstraction, to her engagement with architecture, sound and Black feminist artistic lineages. Illustrated with paintings, prints, works on paper, archival materials and installation photography, Mobile Images serves as both an authoritative reference and a visual record of Pusey's work.
