Cultural Events
Thursday, October 1
Deborah Willis will give a talk and show work from her book, Posing Beauty, as well as sign books for sale at the event from 7:00-9:00pm at the Center for Documentary Studies 1317 W. Pettigrew Street. Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present (W. W. Norton, October 2009) is the first photographic history of black beauty. It tells a story overlooked by most of America, and promises to transform the way we think about the history of African American visual culture. Deborah Willis, whose much-celebrated Reflections in Black provided the first definitive history of black photographers, has now collected over two hundred photographs that provide a lasting statement on beauty in the African American community. From posed studio portraits to dandies on parade to elegant debutantes, Willis has constructed a bold narrative of the ever-changing idea of beauty, both female and male, and shows how history books, newspapers, and mainstream magazines deliberately excluded black models until the late 1960s and early 1970s. While celebrating ordinary people, Posing Beauty is also filled with photographs of the famous, from Josephine Baker to Lil' Kim. Classic photos of Muhammad Ali, James Brown, and Ray Charles, among others, bear witness to the rise of African American celebrities in the 1960s, while images of Stokely Carmichael, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks show just how politically powerful beauty can be. More contemporary photos of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs Denzel Washington, and the Obamas demonstrate how African American beauty has actually often come to dominate popular American culture. Posing Beauty's democratic vision, one that incorporates the dapper man on the street with the pop star of the movie screen, opens up a new vista for understanding what exactly beauty meant for people in the past and what it means for us today.
