Grace Wales Bonner: Dream in the Rhythm—Visions of Sound and Spirit in the MoMA Collection is an artist's book created by the acclaimed London-based designer Grace Wales Bonner as" an archive of soulful expression." Through an extraordinary selection of nearly eighty works from The Museum of Modern Art's collection and archives, this unique volume draws multisensory connections between pictures and poems, music and performance, hearing and touch, gestures and vibrations, and bodies in motion. Photographs, scores, and films by forty-one artists, including Dawoud Bey, Roy DeCarava, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lee Friedlander, David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Agnes Martin, Steve McOueen, Lorna Simpson, and Wolfgang Tillmans, are juxtaposed with signal texts by Black authors writing during the past century: Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, June Jordan, Robin Coste Lewis, Ishmael Reed, Greg Tate, Jean Toomer, Quincy Troupe, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
 
Published on the occasion of the exhibition Artist's Choice: Grace Wales Bonner-Spirit Movers, this resplendent publication is a deeply personal meditation on and around modern Black expression that echoes Wales Bonner's own vibrant, virtuosic designs. 184 pp.; 80 illus.

Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a groundbreaking French artist known for his bold use of color and fluid, expressive line. Over his long career as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, he explored how color and form could work together, from his vibrant Fauvist paintings to his innovative paper cut-outs. Influenced by textiles from his childhood in northern France and his travels, Matisse brought a sense of pattern, harmony, and joy to modern art—though his seemingly simple works were the result of careful, deliberate effort. Over 400 of his works are in MoMA's collection and have been featured in numerous exhibitions at the Museum.
