  Compelling and troubling, colorful and dark, black figures served as the quintessential image of difference in nineteenth-century European art. This collection marks a phase in the scholarship on images of blacks that moves beyond undifferentiated binaries like 'negative' and 'positive' that fail to reveal complexities, contradictions.
