Othello is one of Shakespeare's most contemporary and moving plays,
with its emphasis on race, revenge, murder, and lost love. Chris
Ofili's new edition highlight's the tragedy of Othello's plight in
ways no other previous edition of this play has. In twelve etchings
Ofili has produced to illustrate this play, Othello is depicted
with tears in his eyes, which flow below various scenes visualized
in his forehead. Ofili asks us to see in Othello the great
injustices that still plague the world today. These images add
feeling to Shakespeare's words, and together they form their own
hybrid object-something between a book and a visual retelling of
the tragedy. With a foreword by the renowned critic Fred Moten,
this edition is the first of its kind and puts Othello's blackness
and interiority front and center, forcing us to confront the
complex world that ultimately dooms him. The first play in the
Seeing Shakespeare, Othello is illustrated by English contemporary
artist Chris Ofili. Future titles in the series include A Midsummer
Night's Dream illustrated by Marcel Dzama, and The Merchant of
Venice with images by Jordan Wolfson.
