Abstract (en)
Critical review of the recent exhibition, Facing history: the black image in American art, 1710-1940, shown at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, DC and the Brooklyn Museum, New York. Argues that by focusing on high art and white artists' views of blacks, the exhibition disguises the forcefulness of racism's impact on visual images and misses an opportunity to shed light on the collective racism of American white society. Notes the importance of popular culture images of blacks in reflecting such racist views, and asserts that the absence of such material in this exhibition gives an inaccurate and misleading view of the subject.
