内容简介

加入彼得-布莱斯韦特的非凡之旅，了解西方艺术中黑人题材的表现，从中世纪的欧洲到今天。

"这些具有不可思议的相似性的镜像穿越了空间和时间，突出了被西方艺术典籍所压制的黑人生活，同时也邀请我们审视现在。-《泰晤士报》(英国)

自COVID-19大流行以来，Peter Brathwaite对一百多件以黑人坐像为主题的艺术作品进行了深思熟虑的研究和重新想象--所有作品都发布在社交媒体上，标题为 "通过#gettymuseumchallenge重新发现#blackportraiture"。

本书收集了50多幅布莱斯韦特引人入胜的再创作。在作者的介绍下，在艺术史和视觉文化专家的帮助下，这本引人入胜的书对在非洲散居地建立身份的复杂性和挑战进行了细致入微的观察，以及这些力量是如何影响黑人肖像画的。所介绍的艺术品包括乔治-特鲁贝尔的《Magi的崇拜》、扬-莫斯塔特的《无名氏肖像》、索尼娅-博伊斯的《Rice n Peas》、凯因德-威利的《奥巴马》等。本卷还邀请读者到幕后，一睹布莱斯怀特的道具、设置和过程的优雅巧妙之处。

本书是对体现、代表和机构的迫切和引人注目的探索，它提醒我们，黑人主体在艺术中被描绘了近一千年，他们的故事需要被讲述。

布拉斯韦特的再创作展览将于2023年4月14日至7月23日在英国布里斯托尔博物馆和艺术馆展出。

Join Peter Brathwaite on an extraordinary journey through representations of Black subjects in Western art, from medieval Europe through the present day.

“These mirror images with their uncanny resemblances traverse space and time, spotlighting the black lives that have been silenced by the canon of western art, while also inviting us to interrogate the present.” —Times (UK)

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peter Brathwaite has thoughtfully researched and reimagined more than one hundred artworks featuring portraits of Black sitters—all posted to social media with the caption “Rediscovering #blackportraiture through #gettymuseumchallenge.”

Rediscovering Black Portraiture collects more than fifty of Brathwaite’s most intriguing re-creations. Introduced by the author and framed by contributions from experts in art history and visual culture, this fascinating book offers a nuanced look at the complexities and challenges of building identity within the African diaspora and how such forces have informed Black portraits over time. Artworks featured include The Adoration of the Magi by Georges Trubert, Portrait of an Unknown Man by Jan Mostaert, Rice n Peas by Sonia Boyce, Barack Obama by Kehinde Wiley, and many more. This volume also invites readers behind the scenes, offering a glimpse of the elegant artifice of Brathwaite’s props, setup, and process.

An urgent and compelling exploration of embodiment, representation, and agency, Rediscovering Black Portraiture serves to remind us that Black subjects have been portrayed in art for nearly a millennium and that their stories demand to be told.

An exhibition of Brathwaite’s re-creations is on view at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in Bristol, UK from April 14 to July 23, 2023.
