- Description
- Nineteenth-century neoclassical sculpture was a highly politicized international movement. Based in Rome, many expatriate American sculptors created works that represented black female subjects in compelling and problematic ways. Examples are sculptures of black bodies in white marble. In this book of black feminist art history Nelson considers three major sculptures and explores the intersection of race, sex and class to reveal the meanings each work holds in terms of colonial histories of visual representation as well as issues of artistic production, identity, and subjectivity. She also juxtaposes these sculptures with other types of art.
