Taking inspiration from the techniques of historic European portraiture, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s oil paintings could almost be from a much older era if it were not for the contemporary details of the Black subjects that populate her work. This lavishly illustrated volume of nearly 80 paintings and drawings accompanies the first major survey of Yiadom-Boakye’s work, shown at Tate Britain.
