BOOKThe Image of the Black in Western Art, Volume III: From the "Age of Discovery" to the Age of Abolition, Part 3: The Eighteenth CenturyDavid Bindman (Editor), Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Editor) https://doi.org/10.37862/aaeportal.00142 Stable URL: https://aaeportal.com/?id=-18147Copy In the 1960s, art patron Dominique de Menil founded an image archive showing the ways that people of African descent have been represented in Western art. Highlights from her collection appeared in three large-format volumes that quickly became collector's items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du Bois Institute are proud to publish a complete set of ten sumptuous books, including new editions of the original volumes and two additional ones.The Eighteenth Century features a particularly rich collection of images of Africans representing slavery's apogee and the beginnings of abolition. Old visual tropes of a master with adoring black slave gave way to depictions of Africans as victims and individuals, while at the same time the intellectual foundations of scientific racism were established.*This eBook is available exclusively on the A&AePortal*AuthorDavid Bindman (Editor), Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Editor)PublisherHarvard University PressPrint publication date November 2011 (in print)Print ISBN 9780674052635EISBN 9780300244687Copyright© 2011 by the President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeIllustrations 294Print Status in print Publisher (in print) WorldCat Google Books
