ALL ME: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert

His indelible images of toiling in the cotton
fields, singing in church, dancing in juke joints, or working on a
chain gang are especially powerful, not just because he lived every
moment, but because he experienced so much of the injustice and
bigotry they show as recently as the 1960s and 70s. Now in his
sixties, Rembert has developed a growing following among collectors
and connoisseurs, and enjoyed a number of tributes and exhibitions of
his work. In ALL ME: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert, the artist
relives his turbulent life, abundantly visualized by his extensive
paintings and, in a series of intimate reminiscences, shows us how
even the most painful memories can be transformed into something
meaningful and beautiful. A glowing portrait of how an artistand his
artis made, ALL ME is also a triumphant saga of race in contemporary
America.
