Edited by Elyse Nelson and Wendy S. Walters This critical reexamination of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's iconic bust Why Born Enslaved! unpacks the sculpture's complex and sometimes contradictory engagement with an antislavery discourse. Noted art historians and writers discuss how categories of racial difference grew in popularity in the nineteenth century alongside a crescendo in cultural production in France during the Second Empire. By focusing on Why Born Enslaved! and comparing it to works by Carpeaux's contemporaries on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as to objects by twenty-first-century artists Kara Walker and Kehinde Wiley, this volume explores such key themes as the portrayal of Black enslavement and emancipation; the commodification of images of Black figures; the role of sculpture in generating the sympathies of its audiences; and the relevance of Carpeaux's sculpture to legacies of empire. The book also provides a chronology of events central to the histories of transatlantic slavery, abolition, colonialism, and empire. Elyse Nelson is assistant curator of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European sculpture in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Wendy S. Walters is concentration head in non-fiction and associate professor in the Writing Program of the School of the Arts at Columbia University, New York.

Emily Braun and Elizabeth Cowling with contributions by Claire Le Thomas and Rachel Mustalish The age-old tradition of pictorial illusionism known as trompe l'oeil ("deceive the eye") employs visual tricks that confound the viewer's perception of reality and fiction, truth and falsehood. This radically new take on Cubism shows how Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris both parodied and paid homage to classic trompe l'oeil themes and motifs. The authors connect Cubist works to trompe l'oeil specialists of earlier centuries by juxtaposing more than one hundred Cubist paintings, drawings, and collages with related compositions by old masters. The informed and engaging texts trace the changing status of trompe l'oeil over the centuries, reveal Braque's training in artisanal trompe l'oeil techniques as an integral part of his Cubist practice, examine the material used in Gris's collages, and discuss the previously unstudied trompe l'oeil iconography within Cubist still lifes. Emily Braun is Distinguished Professor of Art History at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and Curator of the Leonard A. Lauder Collection. Elizabeth Cowling is Professor Emeritus and Honorary Fellow in the History of Art at the University of Edinburgh.
