SUMMARY:Posing Beauty in African American Culture
DESCRIPTION:Posing Beauty in African American Culture traces the relationship between African American beauty and visual culture from the 1890s to the present through documentary\, commercial\, and fine art photography. Posing Beauty in African American Culture traces the relationship between African American beauty and visual culture from the 1890s to the present through documentary\, commercial\, and fine art photography. Documentary photographs and portraits of famous and middle-class people alike present the public face of African American beauty\, while commercial photographs demonstrate how fashion and advertising have constructed beauty standards. Finally\, contemporary photographers some of whom use themselves as a subject encourage consideration of how images of beauty impact mass culture and individuals. Posing Beauty includes more than 100 works by photographers including Charles "Teenie" Harris\, Leonard Freed\, Anthony Barboza\, Carrie Mae Weems\, Hank Willis Thomas\, Sheila Pree Bright\, Renee Cox\, Mickalene Thomas\, and others. Organized by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions and curated by Deborah Willis\, PhD\, one of the nation's leading historians of African American photography and culture\, the exhibition will challenge existing notions of beauty while encouraging consideration of race\, class\, and gender within art and popular culture.
