Curated by Deborah Willis, Ph.D., “Posing Beauty in African American
Culture explores the contested ways in which African and African
American beauty have been represented in historical and contemporary
contexts through a diverse range of media including photography, film,
video, fashion, advertising, and other forms of popular culture such
as music and the Internet. Throughout the Western history of art and
image-making, the relationship between beauty and art has become
increasingly complex within contemporary art and popular culture.”
Posing Beauty in African American Culture is curated by Deborah Willis
and organized by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions,
Pasadena, California. This exhibition is made possible in Delaware by
the Johannes R. and Betty P. Krahmer American Art Exhibition Fund.
Additional support is provided, in part, by a grant from the Delaware
Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National
Endowment for the Arts. Image: Susan Taylor, as Model, c. 1970s. Ken
