The de Menils believed that dignified, beautiful representations of black men, women, and children emanating from the ancient Mediterranean to modern Europe would serve as a counternarrative to the toxic atmosphere of race relations they witnessed while living in the United States. They believed in the redemptive power of the image. Their project resulted in an archive of photos and a magisterial series of books by multiple authors that attempted not only to document but to build a scholarly field chronicling the black body as a shifting, evolving, and complex symbol. The sheer number of images proved that the black figure was essential to Western iconography, but the motif had nonetheless been largely ignored by dominant Eurocentric narratives of art history. Hugh Honour's astute, eloquent treatment of the nineteenth century in volume V of the original series offered a rich, expansive view of images of black people in European and American art. [1] The introduction of this archive of images, the reissue of the original volumes, beginning in 2010, and the addition of new volumes has nurtured a global field of inquiry that continues to capture the imagination of scholars, students, artists, writers, filmmakers, and curators. In many ways, the blockbuster exhibition Le Modèle noir de Géricault à Matisse (The Black Model from Géricault to Matisse), mounted by the Musée d'Orsay (fig. 1),

The focus is the study of black artists and their works of art in media such as painting, sculpture, craft, printmaking, video, mixed media, and performance art. The field is driven by the analysis of the meanings and contexts of the works of art, as well as the lives and experiences of the artists. Works vary in terms of content and style and the relationship to issues of blackness, African American history, and identity. There has been debate as to whether black artists whose work does not engage issues of blackness in America can be considered “African American” artists. This issue has largely been discredited in favor of an understanding that any work of art by an African American, no matter the content, is a reflection of the lived experiences and multidimensional concerns of black artists in America. Critics ha...
