IDS 412 - Black Women Creators: Edmonia Lewis's World

3 credits

Prerequisite(s): ENG 122  
The daughter of a Chippewa mother and Black father, sculptor Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) is an intriguing figure in part because her career was so unlikely. Her life as a professional artist began in Boston at a time when many of her brethren were enduring slavery, removal, and war. Lewis would go on to become one of the most renowned artists of a group of female American expatriate sculptors living in Rome. In this class, we will study Lewis's sculpture as well as the art, literature, racism and sexism that motivated and restricted her art and life.
