‎Henry Taylor's first comprehensive monograph, The Only Portrait I Ever Painted of My Momma Was Stolen, features over 200 works from 1992 onward. For three decades the iconic artist has worked his way through New York, Los Angeles, Europe, and Africa, documenting what he sees. In his circle are artists, musicians, writers, and performers, as well as friends from his ten years as a psychiatric technician. Taylor's topical range also encompasses notable figures and celebratory moments of African American cultural history as well as politically-charged and painful subjects such as police brutality and the prison industrial complex. Suites of Taylor's paintings, sculptures, and installations are reproduced alongside the artist's handwritten notes -- accounts of sittings, sketches, and Henryisms. Contributions by Charles Gaines, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah, Sarah Lewis, and Zadie Smith touch on the nature of truth, racial terror, memory, and belonging in America. This definitive monograph celebrates Taylor's direct and revealing portraits, offering a tonic to a divisive cultural moment.‎
