Rediscovering Black Portraiture collects more than fifty of Brathwaite's most intriguing re-creations. Introduced by Brathwaite and framed by contributions from experts in art history and visual culture, this fascinating book offers a nuanced look at the complexities and challenges of building identity within the African diaspora and how such forces have informed Black portraits over time. Artworks featured include The Adoration of the Magi by Georges Trubert, Portrait of an Unknown Man by Jan Mostaert, Rice n Peas by Sonia Boyce, and many more. This volume also invites readers behind the scenes, offering a glimpse of the elegant artifice of Brathwaite's props, setup, and process. An urgent and compelling exploration of embodiment, representation, and agency, Rediscovering Black Portraiture serves to remind us that Black subjects have been portrayed in art for nearly a millennium and that their stories demand to be told.An exhibition of Brathwaite's re-creations is on view at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in Bristol, UK from April 14 to September September 3, 2023.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 238mmItem Length: 191mmAuthor: Peter BrathwaiteContributor: Mark Sealy (Contributions by), Temi Odumosu (Contributions by), Cheryl Finley (Contributions by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyType: Themes & ConceptsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
