Description
Summary:	"The catalogue presents sculptures that Lewis produced from the 1860s to the 1890s. Lewis's range of subjects include abolitionist and political leaders; Indigenous themes; and classical, religious, and mythological figures. Essays place her sculptures in conversation with visual commentaries on enslavement and emancipation and consider the popularity of mythology and sentimentality within abolitionist visual culture and feminist neoclassicism. The authors also examine the fraught traditions around Indigenous visual representation, both by Lewis and her contemporaries, while also including reflections on her legacy within modern and contemporary Black and Indigenous art. By considering Lewis's sculptures in relationship with the artists and audiences of her era and ours, this book sheds new light on her networks, cultural impact, and enduring legacy"-- Provided by publisher.
