Catalogue of an exhibition organized and held at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York City from January 18 thru June 2, 1996.

This exhibit, the first in-depth exploration of the lure of postwar Paris for African American artists, profiles the work of EDWARD CLARK, BARBARA CHASE-RIBOUD, HAROLD COUSINS, BEAUFORD DELANEY, HERBERT GENTRY, LOIS MAILOU JONES, and LARRY POTTER. While they made their way to Paris separately over those 20 years, the city offered all of them critical attention, visibility, and an artistic and racial freedom unavailable in America.
