In the 1960s, art patron Dominique de Menil founded an image
archive showing the ways that people of African descent have been
represented in Western art. Highlights from her collection appeared
in three large-format volumes that quickly became collector's
items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du
Bois Institute are proud to publish a complete set of ten sumptuous
books, including new editions of the original volumes and two
additional ones. From the Demonic Threat to the Incarnation of
Sainthood, written largely by noted French scholar Jean Devisse,
has established itself as a classic in the field of medieval art.
It surveys as never before the presence of black people, mainly
mythical, in art from the early Christian era to the fourteenth
century. The extraordinary transformation of Saint Maurice into a
black African saint, the subject of many noble and deeply touching
images, is a highlight of this volume. The new introduction by Paul
Kaplan provides a fresh perspective on the image of the black in
medieval European art and contextualizes the classic essays on the
subject.
