The Image of the Black in Western Art, Volume III : From the "Age of Discovery" to the Age of Abolition, Part 2: Europe and the World Beyond Hardback
Edited by David Bindman, Henry Louis, Jr. Gates
Part of the The Image of the Black in Western Art series
Hardback
Description
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. Europe and the World Beyond focuses geographically on peoples of South America and the Mediterranean as well as Africa—but conceptually it emphasizes the many ways that visual constructions of blacks mediated between Europe and a faraway African continent that was impinging ever more closely on daily life, especially in cities and ports engaged in slave trade.
