Revisiting the origins of portrait painting in the United States, Jennifer Van Horn reveals how mythologies of whiteness and of nation building erased the aesthetic production of enslaved Americans of African descent and obscured the portrait's importance as a site of resistance. Moving from the wharves of colonial Rhode Island to antebellum Louisiana plantations to South Carolina townhouses during the Civil War, the book illuminates how enslaved people's relationships with portraits also shaped the trajectory of African American art post-emancipation. Van Horn asserts that Black creativity, subjecthood, viewership, and iconoclasm constituted instances of everyday rebellion against systemic oppression. Portraits of Resistance is not only a significant intervention in the fields of American art and history but also an important contribution to the reexamination of racial constructs on which American culture was built. 650 0 $a Portraits, American. 650 0 $a Slaves $z United States $v Portraits. 650 0 $a Race in art. 650 0 $a African Americans in art. 650 0 $a Art and society $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Black people in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834024 650 7 $a Portrait painting, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072181 650 7 $a Portraits, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072342 650 7 $a Slavery in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120514 650 7 $a Slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120522 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Portraits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423831 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022944.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=467648B60CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
