Maud Sulter

4.9/5 (14475 ratings)

Description:Maud Sulter, the Scots-Ghanaian cultural historian, photographer and poet explores the legacy of Jeanne Duval, who was the intimate companion and Black muse of the French poet, Charles Baudelaire, and the inspiration for some of his greatest verses.For Maud Sulter, Jeanne Duval signifies the continuing African presence at Europe's cultural heart, and the simultaneous denial of that presence. Drawn and painted by several nineteenth-century masters, including Édouard Manet, Jeanne Duval's most provocative representation in the visual arts is as a 'disappeared' presence: she was included alongside Baudelaire, in Gustave Courbet's epic work The Painter's Sacrifice, but subsequently painted out at Baudelaire's request. In new works, La Chevalure and Les Bijoux, Sulter returns to the theme of self-portrayal in the guise of Jeanne Duval.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
