This scholarly examination reevaluates the role of the Black female figure within the canon of modern art, tracing a lineage from Édouard Manet’s iconic subjects to contemporary artistic practice. By analyzing the intersection of race, gender, and representation, the text challenges traditional art historical narratives and highlights the agency of the model in shaping the aesthetic of modernity.
