Thanks for sharing this, wasn't aware of it, there's top notch A++ art historical scholarship involved here, just like the good old days. No agenda beyond trying to figure out what the heck was really going on here.

Yep, they also kinda slyly diss the more modern celebrity poser appropriation w/o getting into it too much.

There is an excellent nine volume series done by Henry Louis Gates "The Image of the Black in Western Art" that covers this period
The series goes from the time of the Pharaohs to the Twentieth century

The most recent volume covers the black image in Asian and African Art
