From the American Revolution to World War I - Black Models and White Myths (v.4) (The Image of the Black in Western Art)

Hugh Honour

A substantial study that re-centers Black representation as a major problem in art history and examines images from the American Revolution through World War I. It reads Black figures in painting and sculpture through both social history and the history of representation.

Work Information

Tracing the history of images reveals the structure of racial representation.

Published as part of a Harvard University Press series, the book traces the visual representation of Black people through history. It belongs to a multi-volume project but still has the density of a book that stands on its own.

Review Summaries

  • The book is valued for bringing together a vast body of images and scholarship and for making Black representation visible as a central strand of Western art history.
