Description

Explore the historical representation of people of African descent in Western art with this scholarly work from Harvard University Press. Originally founded by art patron Dominique de Menil in the 1960s, this project began as an archive to document how Black figures have been depicted throughout history. This volume, part of a complete ten-book set published by the Du Bois Institute, covers the period from the Early Christian Era to the Age of Discovery. Specifically, Part 1 examines the transition from the demonic threat to the incarnation of sainthood. Written largely by noted French scholar Jean Devisse, this book provides a deep look into cultural and ethnic studies through a visual lens. It is an essential addition for collectors and researchers interested in the history of African descent in art.
