Description
Book Synopsis
A timely reexamination of the pioneering artist, activist, and scientist, George Washington Carver.
World Without End examines the ongoing impact of the groundbreaking African American scientist and artist George Washington Carver. The book reframes Carver's contributions to science, art, and activism alongside the work of contemporary artists and thinkers.
George Washington Carver was a pioneer of plant-based engineering and one of the United States' earliest proponents of sustainable agriculture. A practicing artist, Carver used natural materials such as peanut and clay-derived dyes and paints in his weavings and paintings. World Without End explores how contemporary artists and scientists engage with Carver's ideas. Alongside recent works, the exhibition and its catalog include previously unpublished material documenting Carver's life and work.
