Includes bibliographies and index.

"(...) In 'Blk Art' independent curator and writer -- Zaria Ware -- celebrates the evolution and lives of black and brown figures in Western art, from the earliest models to a small group of black artists who took the paintbrush into their own hands, and all of the rich, beautiful cultural legacies in between. Did you fall in love with 'Bridgerton' and wonder if a black presence in European courts ever existed? Are you curious about the traiblazing nineteenth-century black artists who boldly challenged the status quo? Have you seen images of Mansa Musa, an emperor of Mali in the fourteenth century and the richest man to have ever lived? Or John Blanke, trumpeter for King Henry VIII? Or Dido Elizabeth Belle, young artistocrat and great-niece of Lord Chief Justice William Murray, First Earl of Mansfield? This is what black (art) history looks like unfiltered." --Back cover.
