Made of welded and cast steel, aluminum, copper and bronze, his abstract creations often resemble natural forms, whether plant or animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften seen as a post-Black artist, Hunt in fact promotes ideals of freedom and equality through his work. His career spanned the length of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements into modern-day campaigns for social justice, and many of his monuments commemorate historic figures such as Emmett Till, Ida B. Wells and Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridging the gap between abstract art and the Black experience, he intertwines inspiration from his ancestry and identity with that from history, mythology and spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Art In America™ Gallery \u0026 Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619984306458,"sku":"sbo_book_richard_hunt_synthesis_2nd_edition_hardcover+_new","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/3941\/files\/sbo_book_richard_hunt_synthesis_2nd_edition_crop.jpg?v=1785542906","url":"https:\/\/www.blackartinamerica.com\/products\/book-richard-hunt-synthesis-hardcover-new-copy","provider":"Black Art In America™ Gallery \u0026 Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
