Title Théodore Géricault, painting black bodies : confrontations and contradictions Type Bibliographic Edition Year 2020 TOC Summary "This book examines Théodore Géricault's images of black men, women and children who suffered slavery's trans-Atlantic passage in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including his 1819 painting Raft of the Medusa. The book focuses on Géricault's depiction of black people, his approach towards slavery, and the voices that advanced or denigrated them. By turning to documents, essays and critiques, both before and after Waterloo (1815), and, most importantly Géricault's own oeuvre, this study explores the fetters of slavery that Gericault challenged - alongside a growing number of abolitionists - overtly or covertly. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, race & ethnic studies and 19th century modern art" BH ID BV046786099 Link EPIC Open Data ID BVB01-032195150
