Any Day Now: Toward a Black Aesthetic
Editor’s Notes:
A vital collection of essays from poet, playwright, and critic Larry Neal—one of the founding figures of the Black Arts Movement—this volume captures a moment when art was inseparable from politics, identity, and community. As arts editor of Liberator magazine in 1960s Harlem, Neal challenged the Western canon and championed a new, unapologetically Black aesthetic—bold, rooted in lived experience, and meant to move people. Selected writings from 1964 to 1978 are introduced by Allie Biswas, who frames Neal’s voice within the cultural revolution he helped ignite.
Drawing on David Zwirner’s world-renowned artists, estates, and exhibitions, the contemporary art gallery’s imprint publishes monographs, historical surveys, and collected writings of the highest quality.
