Seller's Description:
As New. Color illustrated glossy wraps. 184 pp., profusely illustrated in color and bw. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts, 14 January-26 March 2006, and two subsequent locations. "From the American Revolution through the Civil War and on into the Gilded Age, American artists created dynamic images of black sitters. Many of these portraits illuminate the search for a self-possessed identity as well as cultural stereotypes and practices. Portraits of a People looks critically at images made of and by African Americans. They range from a 1773 engraving of the African-born poet Phillis Wheatley purportedly drawn by her friend, the slave Scipio Moorhead, to an 1897 portrait of the artist's mother painted by the expatriate Henry O. Tanner while visiting from Paris." "Portraits of a People features color reproductions of more than 100 important portraits in various media, drawn from museum and historical collections across the United States. The biographies of individual sitters, artists, or histories of the works are discussed in short texts. Essays consider various issues of how the self was fashioned pictorially and the development of unique identities through the formal portraiture of freeborn and previously enslaved African American artists and sitters."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Negro Portraits--Signifying Enslavement and Portraying People--"On deathless glories fix thine ardent view": Scipio Moorhead, Phillis Wheatley, and the Mythic Origins of Anglo-African Portraiture in New England--"Moses Williams, Cutter of Profiles": Silhouettes and African American Identity in the Early Republic--Portraits of a People.
