An ambitious and revelatory investigation of the black female figure in modern art, tracing the legacy of Manet through to contemporary artThis revelatory study investigates how changing modes of representing the black female figure were foundational to the development of modern art. She traces the impact of Manet's reconsideration of the black model into the twentieth century and across the Atlantic, where Henri Matisse visited Posing Modernity examines the legacy of douard Manet's Olympia (1863), arguing that this radical painting marked a fitfully evolving shift toward modernist portrayals of the black figure as an active participant in everyday life rather than as an exotic "other." Denise Murrell explores the little-known interfaces between the avant-gardists of nineteenth-century Paris and the post-abolition community of free black Parisians.
