Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool accompanies the first career retrospective of the renowned American artist Barkley L. Hendricks. Hendricks was born in 1945 in Philadelphia. His unique work contains elements of both American realism and postmodernism, occupying a space between the portraitists Chuck Close and Alex Katz and the pioneering black conceptualists David Hammons and Adrian Piper. Hendricks is best known for his life-sized portraits of people of color from the urban northeast. His bold portrayal of his subject's attitude and style elevates the common person to celebrity status. Cool, empowering, and sometimes confrontational, Hendricks' artistic privileging of a culturally complex black body has paved the way for today's younger generation of artists.

This richly illustrated book contains 100 color images of paintings created from 1964 to the present. It focuses primarily on the artist's full-figure portraits, as well as lesser known early works and the artist's more recent portal-like landscape paintings. The catalog includes the most comprehensive bibliography on Hendricks to date, a timeline of the artist's life, and an interview with the artist by Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem. It also includes essays by Barkley L. Hendricks, Duke University art historian Richard J. Powell, exhibition curator Trevor Schoonmaker, and Franklin Sirmans, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Menil Collection.

Energy at 10 calories and 0 sugar
Flavor Name: Assorted Flavor Variety, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’ve been hooked on Celsius for a while now and this variety pack is the best way to buy them. You get the flavors shown in the picture. My personal favorite is the orange, but I like them all. Celsius has 200 mg of caffeine per can which is a lot. But that’s exactly what I need on certain days! Only 10 calories and 0 sugar so good if you are watching those things. I like that Celsius includes B vitamins (which help convert food into energy) and other healthy things. Feels like to gives me stable energy. The price is fair on its own, but if you catch it when Amazon is running a sale, it’s a no-brainer. Stock up when you see it discounted. I definitely do.

Good price for a nice variety pack. The assortment of flavors is solid, and I like that it includes both carbonated and non-carbonated options. Good value overall.

Love these!

This is my absolute favorite energy drink! Perfect way to start a hike as it boosts my energy and my metabolism at the same time making the hike even more of a worth it workout. Nice skinny can so it doesn’t take up too much room in a backpack. I have yet to had a flavor that I did not like. Love them!

LOVE THEM🩷
Love these charges so much and have been using them for years! However, each charger only lasts about 6 months. I think they are worth it though and very good. It comes with two so you only need to buy a new pack once a year. Most chargers nowadays don’t last anyway. These charge fast and are very long. Also love the color options, I have mine in pink🩷

Long Cables and Easy to Spot
Size: 10FT, Color: Blue
So far these have been great chargers. They charge quickly and we have not had any issues with them overheating or causing problems with our iPhones, which is always my main concern with third party chargers. The 10 foot length is a big plus. It gives plenty of flexibility whether you are on the couch, in bed, or working at a desk. The extra length makes a noticeable difference compared to standard cables. I actually bought the blue set for my wife so her chargers would stand out from all the white ones around the house. That has worked perfectly. They are easy to identify and no one else grabs them by mistake. The two pack was ideal for that reason, giving her one for the bedroom and one for another room. If you are looking for a fast charging option with longer cables and want something that is easy to distinguish from the usual white cords, this is a solid choice.
