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.

Cozy, Soft, and Perfect for Everyday Comfort!
Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: White, Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: White
I absolutely love this throw blanket! From the moment I took it out of the package, I could tell how soft and well-made it was. It’s incredibly cozy without being too heavy, making it perfect for relaxing on the couch, watching TV, or adding an extra layer of warmth to the bed.
The material feels high quality and has held up really well after washing—no shedding or fading. It keeps me warm without overheating, which is exactly what I was looking for.
I also love how it adds a nice touch to my daughter’s room. The color is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures, making it both functional and decorative.
Overall, this throw blanket is a great value for the price. Comfortable, stylish, and durable—I would definitely recommend it and plan to buy more!

Incredibly Soft and Cozy
Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Sage Green, Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Sage Green
This blanket is unbelievably soft and fluffy — one of the softest throws I’ve bought from Amazon. It feels very cozy and keeps you surprisingly warm without being overly heavy. Perfect for curling up on the couch or adding extra comfort to a bed.
My only small issue was the color. The “sage green” looked much more like a cream or very light neutral in person, so I’m not sure if I received the wrong color. I ended up keeping it anyway because the softness and quality were so good.
