Edmonia Lewis was the first sculptor of African American and Native American (Mississauga) descent to achieve international fame. Her 3,000-pound masterwork, “The Death of Cleopatra,” commemorated another powerful woman who broke with convention… and then the sculpture disappeared. On this return episode of Sidedoor, we find them both. You can see "The Death of Cleopatra" at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The new exhibition, The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture features 82 artworks created between 1792 and 2023, including two by Edmonia Lewis. Guests:Marilyn Richardson, art historian and independent curator Kirsten Pai Buick, professor of art historian at the University of New Mexico and author of Child of the Fire: Mary Edmonia Lewis and the Problem of Art History's Black and Indian SubjectKaren Lemmey, the Lucy S. Reign Curator of Sculpture at the Smithsonian American Art Museum 

Soprano Amber Cierra Merritt will portray sculptor Edmonia Lewis in the world premiere of opera "Edmonia" by composer Bill Banfield. Lewis was the first sculptor of African American and Native American ancestry to achieve international recognition. Banfield's opera "Edmonia" celebrates Lewis's life, and it's getting its premiere at Interlochen in May. The production will feature student musicians from Interlochen Arts Academy in many of the roles, but the title character will be portrayed by soprano Amber Cierra Merritt. Merritt recently visited IPR's Studio A when she was on campus for "Edmonia" rehearsals. With collaborative pianist Susan Snyder, she performed the aria "Dreams" from Banfield's "Edmonia," as well as the art song "Why Fades a Dream" by Irene Britton Smith (text of Paul Laurence Dunbar). Merritt spoke with IPR about bringing a figure like Edmonia Lewis to life and how her relationship with composer Banfield has helped both of them shape the music and the character. She also talked about her newest role - that of being a mom.

This week we're replaying some of our finest episodes about some of the finest works ever created. In this episode from October 2021, the story of sculptor Edmonia Lewis. She was born in the 1840s to a Black father and a Chippewa mother, and became the first Native American and Black woman to become an acclaimed sculptor. Plus: the exhibit known as Little Canada features miniature versions of some of this big country's most famous cities, landmarks and attractions. ⁠Edmonia Lewis⁠ (Smithsonian American Art Museum)  ⁠Little Canada⁠ ⁠As a Patreon backer you'll turn each day's show into a work of art! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coolweirdawesome/support

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the renowned art historian, Kirsten Pai Buick to discuss EDMONIA LEWIS! Edmonia Lewis (1844–1907) is hailed for her stunningly chiselled marble busts and figurative sculptures – with their elegantly coiled hair, elastic-like folds of drapery, idealised nudes with strong, robust builds. She was the first sculptor of African American heritage (of any gender) to achieve such fame and recognition. Buick is the author of a highly distinguished book Child of the Fire: Mary Edmonia Lewis and the Problem of Art History's Black and Indian Subject – about the sculptor acclaimed for her marble busts and figures that portray local people to mythical subjects, as well as deal with vital political narratives of the late 1800s. In this episode we go into depth about Lewis's life and work – focussing on how Lewis reworked classical narratives from a distinctly female perspective. We also look at how she interpreted vital political narratives of the time in artworks such as Forever Free, 1867, referencing the Emancipation Proclamation of four years previously. Originally titled The Morning of Liberty, this smaller-than-life-size, yet weighty and mighty statuette immortalises an empowered, freed African American couple. Muscular and heroic, on the right we see a Herculean male figure breaking from his chains and raising a clenched fist. Buick's vital scholarship explores the material and visual culture of the first British Empire, the art of the US, African American art, landscape representation, women as patrons and collectors of art. She also focuses on pro- and anti-abolitionist images in the Atlantic world. In 2022, Buick was named Distinguished Scholar by the College Art Association, and is currently working on a book – In Authenticity: Kara Walker and the Eidetics of Racism, about the artist renowned for her work that dismantles racist imagery through cut outs, and colossal sculptures, challenging the imperialist language that surrounds us.

Hon var en internationellt erkänd skulptör, hon var svart och hon var kvinna. Men länge tycktes hon utraderad ur historien. Anna Blennow pusslar ihop några bitar i Edmonia Lewis exceptionella liv. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Denna essä sändes första gången i oktober 2020.Utanför det som en gång var skulptören Antonio Canovas atelje finns Roms kanske märkligaste fontän. Över ett vattenfyllt kar i granit ligger en naken mansfigur utsträckt. Hans kropp är skulpterad i en vittrad, brungrå vulkanisk stenart, medan huvudet – en sorglöst flinande gubbe – är marmorvitt. Figuren föreställer den ständigt vinberusade halvguden Silenus. Hans mörka stenkropp – en återbrukad antik skulptur – skulle föra tankarna till den vilda och ociviliserade naturen.Kring år 1800 var Canova en av de främsta representanterna för nyklassicismens tolkning av antikens skulpturkonst, och han porträtterade samtidens kändisar alltifrån påven till Napoleon i bländvit marmor. Men vad man ännu inte visste var att antiken var allt annat än färglös. Grekiska och romerska skulpturer var ursprungligen bemålade i starka färger, men när de återfanns framgrävda ur marken från renässansen och framåt hade färgen flagnat, och eventuella rester tvättades bort. Antiken blev vit, och de bleka skulpturerna laddades med föreställningar om ett idealiserat förgånget.Under andra hälften av 1800-talet arbetade Roms stora koloni av konstnärer fortfarande i samma stil. Av dem var många amerikaner. Så många att amerikanska tidningar regelbundet rapporterade om deras verksamhet. I februari 1867 skriver The Evening Telegraphs utsände: ”I Canovas gamla studio fann jag miss Edmonia Lewis, som, förmodar jag, är den enda färgade skulptrisen i världen – en dam på kanske 23 år, med afrikanskt och indianskt blod i sina ådror. Hon kom till Rom för lite mer än ett år sedan som en främling okunnig i italienska. Men hon hade redan bestämt sig för vad hon skulle ägna sig åt…”Historien om Edmonia Lewis innehåller så många exceptionella detaljer att de spränger ramarna för vilken berättelse som helst. Ändå är stora delar av hennes liv fortfarande okända. Trots att Lewis levde i Rom i nästan trettio år tycks hon utraderad ur stadens minne, och trots att hon blev en av sin tids mest framgångsrika konstnärer var hon länge osynlig också i konsthistorien.Hon föddes i New York omkring år 1844, barn till en ursprungsamerikansk mor och en afrikanskättad far. Tidigt blev hon föräldralös och växte upp hos sin mors släkt i Ojibwe-stammen. Om den tiden skulle hon senare säga: ”Det finns ingenting så vackert som den vilda skogen. Att fånga en fisk, steka den över elden och äta den i det fria, är den största av alla njutningar. Jag skulle inte stå ut en vecka i stan, om det inte vore för att jag älskar konsten.”Men vägen från den fria skogen till den fria konsten var lång. Lewis halvbror, som hade tjänat lite pengar på att arbeta som barberare, bekostade hennes utbildning vid Oberlin College i Ohio, det första amerikanska lärosäte som välkomnade icke-vita. Ändå utsattes hon för rasistiska angrepp där, och efter att ha gått i lära hos en skulptör arbetade hon målmedvetet för att ge sig av utomlands. För det enda hon ville var att verka som konstnär utan att ständigt bli påmind om sin hudfärg, och det var inte möjligt i Amerika. Hon specialiserade sig på porträttbyster av kända slaverimotståndare, som sålde så bra att hon hade råd att resa till Europa, till Rom.Via kontakter etablerade sig Lewis snabbt i Roms konstnärsvärld, och följde självsäkert sin egen väg. Hon gjorde inte, som andra skulptörer, förlagor i lera för att sedan låta lokala stenhuggare arbeta fram dem i monumentalt format i marmor. Hela den tunga processen utförde hon själv. Hon brydde sig inte om att invänta beställningar på kostsamma större skulpturer, utan skapade de verk hon ville, och lyckades oftast hitta köpare till dem.Och i Rom förde hon en ständig frihetskamp i sin konst. ”Forever Free” visar ett afrikanamerikanskt par som lägger av slaveriets bojor. Skulpturgruppen ”Hiawathas bröllop” inspirerades av poeten Henry Wadsworth Longfellows dikt Hiawatha's Song, som byggde på ursprungsamerikanska myter. Lewis popularitet bara ökade, och hon reste ofta tillbaka till Amerika för att visa sina verk. Störst uppseende väckte en skulptur av Kleopatras självmord på världsutställningen i Philadelphia år 1876. Drottningens dödsögonblick framställdes av Lewis som en seger: Kleopatra kunde inte underkuvas av den romerska övermakten.Mot slutet av 1800-talet tappade nyklassicismen i popularitet, och konstens huvudstad flyttade från Rom till Paris. Lewis stjärnstatus dalade, och hon hamnade till slut i London, där hennes vidare öden är okända. Länge visste man inte ens var hon låg begravd, men för bara några år sedan lokaliserades hennes omärkta grav på en Londonkyrkogård. Där ligger nu en blank, svart sten med inskrift i guldbokstäver: ”Edmonia Lewis, skulptör”.Men under de senaste decennierna har man börjat rekonstruera Edmonia Lewis historia, som precis som många av hennes verk skingrats och gått förlorad under 1900-talet. Kleopatraskulpturen, som förblev osåld, hamnade till exempel som gravmonument över en kapplöpningshäst i en förort till Chicago, köptes senare av en lokal tandläkare, och förpassades sedan till ett förråd där en konsthistoriker fann den i slutet av 1980-talet. Idag finns den i Smithsonian American Art Museum.Få fotografier av Lewis är bevarade. Bara ett av dem kommer från hennes tid i Rom. Hon poserar klädd i en kritvit klänning med spetsar och volanger i lager på lager. Och historien om henne är ett lapptäcke av färg och vithet, historia och ideal, hud och kropp. Författaren Henry James raljerade över hur hennes hudfärg, som ”pittoreskt kontrasterade mot hennes material”, var den främsta orsaken till hennes berömmelse, svart mitt i den ”marmorvita flocken” av kvinnliga konstnärer i Rom. Men själv sade hon: ”Vissa berömmer mig för att jag är färgad, och den sortens beröm vill jag inte ha. Anmärk hellre på mina brister, för det kommer att lära mig något.”Lewis positionerade sig med självklarhet mitt i den västerländska, vita kulturhistoria vars centrum vid den tiden fortfarande var Rom. Hon signerade sina verk på latin: Edmonia Lewis fecit Roma. Hennes skulpturer av icke-vita individer avbildade i vit marmor tog plats i samtidskonsten utan den tidstypiska exotisering och sexualisering av det främmande som till exempel kom till uttryck i idén om den ädle vilden. Men varken Lewis eller hennes samtida visste att den värdighet som det marmorvita skulle låna sina bärare byggde på en felaktig premiss om den vita antiken.Och antikens skulptur var inte bara bemålad. Precis som i skulpturen av Silenus använde man färgad sten för att signalera det främmande hos såväl ociviliserade naturgudar som de avlägsna folkslag man införlivat i sitt rike. Också stensorterna kom från områden i romarrikets utkanter: grön marmor och röd porfyr från Egypten; rödspräcklig och svart marmor från Turkiet. Den färgade stenen blev både exotisk markör och maktdemonstration från väldet som sträckte sig över hela den kända världen. Kontrasten kunde inte vara större mot den frihet som genomsyrade Edmonia Lewis liv och verk.Anna Blennow, latinforskare och poetLitteraturEdmonia Lewis – internationally renowned sculptor, Charlotte Etinde-Crompton & Samuel Willard Crompton, 2020.The Lure of Italy.

Drawing on letters, personal testimony, works of art, novels, and historic Black newspapers, this book is an interdisciplinary exploration of Black women's contributions to the intellectual life of nineteenth-century America. Rebecca J Fraser's book Black Female Intellectuals in 19th Century America: Born to Bloom Unseen? (Routledge, 2022) reconceptualizes the idea of what the term "intellectual" means through its discussions of both familiar and often forgotten Black women, including Edmonia Lewis, Harriet Powers, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman, amongst others. This re-envisioning brings those who have previously been excluded from the scholarship of Black intellectualism more generally, and Black female intellectuals specifically, into the center of the debate. Importantly, it also situates the histories of Black women participating in the intellectual cultures of the United States much earlier than most previous scholarship. This book will be of interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate specialists and students in the fields of African American history, women's and gender history, and American studies, as well as general readers interested in historical and biographical works.

Edmonia Lewis's depictions of American literature and history earned her widespread acclaim in the 19th century

Haitian-born, New York sculptor Jessica Jean-Baptiste, sits down with us to discuss her practice, her evolution as an artist and her exclusive collection for the AphroChic Art Shop. In the tradition of artists such as Edmonia Lewis, Elizabeth Catlett and Augusta Savage, Baptiste's latest works, The Keisha and Jamal Busts are a celebration of the beauty of Black life and Black bodies. These new works present a Black man without conflict, and a Black woman at peace. Simple images, yet revolutionary pieces by Baptiste, in their rejection of the story of Black America that is commonly told. Jessica Jean-Baptiste is featured in Issue No. 11 of AphroChic magazine in the story, The Question is In The Answer. 

This is a#funfactfriday mini-episode about Edmonia Lewis and her sculpture The Death of Cleopatra. After it was exhibited in Philadelphia for the Centennial Exhibition, it was put into storage in Chicago. It would later sit in a saloon, mark the grave of a horse, and serve as an arts and crafts project for some local Boy Scouts before finally being professionally restored and displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of Art.

Edmonia Lewis always loved art. In the 1800s, there weren't many women sculptors. Edmonia wasn't interested in what she couldn't do. She was only interested in what she could. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[This episode original aired November 2020.] Meet Dana King! She's a former broadcast journalist turned sculptor who believes in the power of commemorative art. She brought us the amazing story of Edmonia Lewis, a Black, female sculptor who lived and worked in the late 1800's in America and Europe. In this interview Dana tells us why she is so passionate about her work and the moment she KNEW she was a sculptor.

From our fellow Smithsonian podcast, Sidedoor, the story of Edmonia Lewis— the first sculptor of African American and Native American (Mississauga) descent to achieve international fame. Her 3,000-pound masterwork, “The Death of Cleopatra,” commemorated another powerful woman who broke with convention… and then it disappeared. See Edmonia Lewis's portrait here.

[This episode originally aired in November, 2020]. On this episode we meet Edmonia Wildfire Lewis, a talented American sculptor who emigrated to Europe to push her art to the next level! As a Black female sculptor in the 19th century she blazed a trail through the world of art and created works of enormous magnitude. Though some of her work has been lost to history, her contributions to art and sculpture will never be forgotten! About the Narrator Dana King is a classical figurative sculptor who believes in the power of commemorative art. She loves the art of sculpture because it allows people to shape stories, share memories and determine how they are remembered. Her sculptures aim to link generations by revealing common threads: shared values, experiences, and aspirations because, she believes, they help those alive today compare and contrast their world with that of social pioneers, both enslaved and free, whose sacrifices, courage and commitment to excellence helped create modern society. She hopes you see yourself and those you love in her work!    Credits This podcast is a production of Rebel Girls and Boom Integrated, a division of John Marshall Media.

What Artists Can learn from the Venice Biennale Curator  This is the world's longest running, large scale survey of contemporary art. It is looked to locally and internationally to discover the next new great artist. The curator is Cecilia Alemani, and I went to hear her share her insights about the exhibition. She went into detail about how she made the multitude of decisions involved in this exhibit.   Hear how she uses a 3D layout and how she chose the name for the exhibition in addition to how she selected the art itself. Her strategies are something you can use as well.   Classic Artist Mistakes  On the upper west side in NYC, there's a “flea market” every Sunday. I have checked it out a few times and I wanted to coach some of the artists so that they could sell more art and make more money.   Collect addresses to follow up – this is too not be doing it.   Offer to keep in touch. I had to ask an artist multiple times how I could connect with him in the future. Make it easy!  Download The Artists Profit Plan  Where Can You See Bansky in New York City  I recently saw graffiti art here in NYC by the street artist Bansky. He's from Great Britain and in addition to his art, he is also an activist. Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based Street artist, political activist and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation.  He combines existing items into his art. If you are in NY, you can see his art on the south wall on the Designer Show Warehouse at 79th street and Broadway. The owner of the building has taken steps to preserve the art, so hopefully it will be there for many more years.   The Art World remembers Edmonia Lewis  I love to find the most interesting stamps when I go to the post office. Nothing wrong with the flag, but why not find something more interesting? In February during black history month, I bought some stamps featuring Edmonia Lewis. Check out her story.  She was the first sculptor of African American and Native American (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Her father was Black, and her mother was Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indian.   She has a fascinating life story and despite a number of setbacks she never stopped creating art. You'll be inspired by her story and her tenacity.  More on this topic: The Rise of the Black Portrait Artist  Forget Perfectionism in Your Art  Let's talk about the deliberate mistake. In many handmade Persian rugs and carpets, you will discover the deliberate mistake. Followers of Islam believe only Allah makes things perfectly, and therefore to weave a perfect rug or carpet would be an offence to God.  If you are plagued with perfectionism, or find yourself being hyper critical of your work, I have a resource to help.

Tyehimba Jess discusses his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Olio (Wave Books, 2016). This talk was given March 4, 2018 in conjunction with Seattle Arts Lectures. Jess talks about the genesis and stories behind the poems in Olio, which revisits the biographies of African American creatives from the Civil War until WW1, including Scott Joplin, Blind Boone, Sissieretta Jones, Blind Tom, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, Edmonia Lewis, Henry Box Brown, and others, and provides an opportunity to discuss history, form, geometry, resistance, and resilience via this incredibly multifaceted work. Anastacia-Reneé joins him in conversation for the Q&A.

This 2017 episode covers an American sculptor who was a celebrated artist in her day, but receded from the spotlight; her final years remained a mystery for quite some time. Her marble works are striking examples of the neoclassical style popular at the end of the 19th century. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Edmonia Lewis had an interesting life, and her sculpture The Death of Cleopatra had an equally interesting ride. After it was exhibited in Philadelphia for the Centennial Exhibition, it was put into storage in Chicago. It would later sit in a saloon, mark the grave of a horse, serve as an arts and crafts project for some local Boy Scouts before finally being professionally restored and displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of Art.  As always, you can find images and more at www.whoartedpodcast.com  Please consider participating in the upcoming Arts Madness Tournament where listeners from around the world will vote for their favorite artists in a bracketed tournament winnowing the field from 64 down to 1 ultimate artist.  If you would like to support the show, I recently partnered with Ko-Fi to be able to accept donations to cover the costs of production.

The 45th stamp in the Black Heritage series honors sculptor Edmonia Lewis (circa 1844-1907). As the first African American and Native American sculptor to achieve international recognition, Lewis challenged social barriers and assumptions about artists in mid-19th century America. The stamp art is a casein-on-wood portrait of Lewis, based on a photograph taken in Boston between 1864 and 1871. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp with original art by Alex Bostic.

Edmonia Lewis broke barriers as the first African-American and Native American sculptor to achieve worldwide reknown for her neoclassical works in marble and bronze. After her death, her most famous masterpiece lived on, incognito until its relatively recent rediscovery.

Hon var en internationellt erkänd skulptör, hon var svart och hon var kvinna. Men länge tycktes hon utraderad ur historien. Anna Blennow pusslar ihop några bitar i Edmonia Lewis exceptionella liv. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Denna essä sändes första gången i oktober 2020. Utanför det som en gång var skulptören Antonio Canovas atelje finns Roms kanske märkligaste fontän. Över ett vattenfyllt kar i granit ligger en naken mansfigur utsträckt. Hans kropp är skulpterad i en vittrad, brungrå vulkanisk stenart, medan huvudet en sorglöst flinande gubbe är marmorvitt. Figuren föreställer den ständigt vinberusade halvguden Silenus. Hans mörka stenkropp en återbrukad antik skulptur skulle föra tankarna till den vilda och ociviliserade naturen. Kring år 1800 var Canova en av de främsta representanterna för nyklassicismens tolkning av antikens skulpturkonst, och han porträtterade samtidens kändisar alltifrån påven till Napoleon i bländvit marmor. Men vad man ännu inte visste var att antiken var allt annat än färglös. Grekiska och romerska skulpturer var ursprungligen bemålade i starka färger, men när de återfanns framgrävda ur marken från renässansen och framåt hade färgen flagnat, och eventuella rester tvättades bort. Antiken blev vit, och de bleka skulpturerna laddades med föreställningar om ett idealiserat förgånget. Under andra hälften av 1800-talet arbetade Roms stora koloni av konstnärer fortfarande i samma stil. Av dem var många amerikaner. Så många att amerikanska tidningar regelbundet rapporterade om deras verksamhet. I februari 1867 skriver The Evening Telegraphs utsände: I Canovas gamla studio fann jag miss Edmonia Lewis, som, förmodar jag, är den enda färgade skulptrisen i världen en dam på kanske 23 år, med afrikanskt och indianskt blod i sina ådror. Hon kom till Rom för lite mer än ett år sedan som en främling okunnig i italienska. Men hon hade redan bestämt sig för vad hon skulle ägna sig åt Historien om Edmonia Lewis innehåller så många exceptionella detaljer att de spränger ramarna för vilken berättelse som helst. Ändå är stora delar av hennes liv fortfarande okända. Trots att Lewis levde i Rom i nästan trettio år tycks hon utraderad ur stadens minne, och trots att hon blev en av sin tids mest framgångsrika konstnärer var hon länge osynlig också i konsthistorien. Hon föddes i New York omkring år 1844, barn till en ursprungsamerikansk mor och en afrikanskättad far. Tidigt blev hon föräldralös och växte upp hos sin mors släkt i Ojibwe-stammen. Om den tiden skulle hon senare säga: Det finns ingenting så vackert som den vilda skogen. Att fånga en fisk, steka den över elden och äta den i det fria, är den största av alla njutningar. Jag skulle inte stå ut en vecka i stan, om det inte vore för att jag älskar konsten. Men vägen från den fria skogen till den fria konsten var lång. Lewis halvbror, som hade tjänat lite pengar på att arbeta som barberare, bekostade hennes utbildning vid Oberlin College i Ohio, det första amerikanska lärosäte som välkomnade icke-vita. Ändå utsattes hon för rasistiska angrepp där, och efter att ha gått i lära hos en skulptör arbetade hon målmedvetet för att ge sig av utomlands. För det enda hon ville var att verka som konstnär utan att ständigt bli påmind om sin hudfärg, och det var inte möjligt i Amerika. Hon specialiserade sig på porträttbyster av kända slaverimotståndare, som sålde så bra att hon hade råd att resa till Europa, till Rom. Via kontakter etablerade sig Lewis snabbt i Roms konstnärsvärld, och följde självsäkert sin egen väg. Hon gjorde inte, som andra skulptörer, förlagor i lera för att sedan låta lokala stenhuggare arbeta fram dem i monumentalt format i marmor. Hela den tunga processen utförde hon själv. Hon brydde sig inte om att invänta beställningar på kostsamma större skulpturer, utan skapade de verk hon ville, och lyckades oftast hitta köpare till dem. Och i Rom förde hon en ständig frihetskamp i sin konst. Forever Free visar ett afrikanamerikanskt par som lägger av slaveriets bojor. Skulpturgruppen Hiawathas bröllop inspirerades av poeten Henry Wadsworth Longfellows dikt Hiawathas Song, som byggde på ursprungsamerikanska myter. Lewis popularitet bara ökade, och hon reste ofta tillbaka till Amerika för att visa sina verk. Störst uppseende väckte en skulptur av Kleopatras självmord på världsutställningen i Philadelphia år 1876. Drottningens dödsögonblick framställdes av Lewis som en seger: Kleopatra kunde inte underkuvas av den romerska övermakten. Mot slutet av 1800-talet tappade nyklassicismen i popularitet, och konstens huvudstad flyttade från Rom till Paris. Lewis stjärnstatus dalade, och hon hamnade till slut i London, där hennes vidare öden är okända. Länge visste man inte ens var hon låg begravd, men för bara några år sedan lokaliserades hennes omärkta grav på en Londonkyrkogård. Där ligger nu en blank, svart sten med inskrift i guldbokstäver: Edmonia Lewis, skulptör. Men under de senaste decennierna har man börjat rekonstruera Edmonia Lewis historia, som precis som många av hennes verk skingrats och gått förlorad under 1900-talet. Kleopatraskulpturen, som förblev osåld, hamnade till exempel som gravmonument över en kapplöpningshäst i en förort till Chicago, köptes senare av en lokal tandläkare, och förpassades sedan till ett förråd där en konsthistoriker fann den i slutet av 1980-talet. Idag finns den i Smithsonian American Art Museum. Få fotografier av Lewis är bevarade. Bara ett av dem kommer från hennes tid i Rom. Hon poserar klädd i en kritvit klänning med spetsar och volanger i lager på lager. Och historien om henne är ett lapptäcke av färg och vithet, historia och ideal, hud och kropp. Författaren Henry James raljerade över hur hennes hudfärg, som pittoreskt kontrasterade mot hennes material, var den främsta orsaken till hennes berömmelse, svart mitt i den marmorvita flocken av kvinnliga konstnärer i Rom. Men själv sade hon: Vissa berömmer mig för att jag är färgad, och den sortens beröm vill jag inte ha. Anmärk hellre på mina brister, för det kommer att lära mig något. Lewis positionerade sig med självklarhet mitt i den västerländska, vita kulturhistoria vars centrum vid den tiden fortfarande var Rom. Hon signerade sina verk på latin: Edmonia Lewis fecit Roma. Hennes skulpturer av icke-vita individer avbildade i vit marmor tog plats i samtidskonsten utan den tidstypiska exotisering och sexualisering av det främmande som till exempel kom till uttryck i idén om den ädle vilden. Men varken Lewis eller hennes samtida visste att den värdighet som det marmorvita skulle låna sina bärare byggde på en felaktig premiss om den vita antiken. Och antikens skulptur var inte bara bemålad. Precis som i skulpturen av Silenus använde man färgad sten för att signalera det främmande hos såväl ociviliserade naturgudar som de avlägsna folkslag man införlivat i sitt rike. Också stensorterna kom från områden i romarrikets utkanter: grön marmor och röd porfyr från Egypten; rödspräcklig och svart marmor från Turkiet. Den färgade stenen blev både exotisk markör och maktdemonstration från väldet som sträckte sig över hela den kända världen. Kontrasten kunde inte vara större mot den frihet som genomsyrade Edmonia Lewis liv och verk.

Samtal med kulturredaktionens Fredrik Wadström. ESSÄ: SKULPTÖREN EDMONIA LEWIS ÖDE Mycket är tyvärr okänt om Edmonia Lewis liv, men vi vet att hon var en kvinna från USA som levde en bit in på 1900-talet, och att hon hade stor framgång som skulptör i Rom. Hon var också mörkhyad och skildrade både slavmotståndare och slavars frihetskamp så väl som klassiska motiv i den vita marmorn. Latinforskaren, poeten och Rom-experten Anna Blennow har grävt mer i hennes fascinerande öde. Programledare: Lisa Wall Producent: Eskil Krogh Larsson

Mary Edmonia Lewis was a black Catholic woman who became a great sculptor. Tom and Noëlle Crowe tells us that in order to overcome prejudice against her she moved to Rome from the US early on and it wasn't until quite recently that Lewis received recognition for her great art.

DAGENS OBS-ESSÄ Mycket är tyvärr okänt om Edmonia Lewis liv, men vi vet att hon var en kvinna från USA som levde en bit in på 1900-talet, och att hon hade stor framgång som skulptör i Rom. Hon var också mörkhyad och skildrade både slavmotståndare och slavars frihetskamp så väl som klassiska motiv i den vita marmorn. Latinforskaren, poeten och Rom-experten Anna Blennow har grävt mer i hennes fascinerande öde. Programledare: Gunnar Bolin Producent: Maria Götselius

For most Americans, there’s a list of arts that they might be able to rattle off if pressed to name them off the top of their heads. Picasso. Michelangelo. Leonardo da Vinci. Name recognition does go a long way, but such lists also highlight what many of us don’t know-- a huge treasure trove of talented artists from decades or centuries past that might not be household names, but still have created incredible additions to the story of art. It’s not a surprise that many of these individuals represent the more diverse side of things, too-- women, people of color, different spheres of the social or sexual spectrum. This season on the ArtCurious podcast, we’re covering the coolest artists you don’t know. This week: Edmonia Lewis. Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!

Piece based on The Death of Cleopatra by Cara Kelly.  "I first became aware of the artist, sculptor Edmonia Lewis and her work 'The Death of Cleopatra' through the Smithsonian’s podcast 'Sidedoor’. At the time I was also first in contact with 'Cities and Memories' so when I was asked if I would be involved in the  'Smithsonian Treasures Exhibition' and 'The Death of Cleopatra' was one of the works listed it was an intuitive choice for me to make.   "‘The Death Of Cleopatra’ took Edmonia four years to complete, was created  in Rome and accomplished for the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and depicts  a scene from Classical antiquity.  "The work bridges two different eras ie.the one it depicts namely the death  of Cleopatra the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the end of the war between  Anthony and Octavian (Augustus) and the one in which it was created... the ‘Capture of Rome’ in 1870 the end of the reign of the Papal States under the  Holy See and the unification of the Italian peninsula under Emmanuel II. "Perhaps using pencil and manuscript combined with digital sequencing samples of  strings and choir is my own attempt at bridge-building.  The sculpture's own history and the life and work of Edmonia engaged me for many  weeks and led me to a richer appreciation for both. In writing this piece I have sought to accompany her work as you might a soloist with first and foremost respect to the great skill and voice of the artist and they're creation.  I would hope that the viewer and the listener will also be inspired to further  appreciation of the work of Edmonia Lewis."

Amidst the surge and spray of Niagara Falls, Edmonia Lewis spent her childhood hunting, fishing, and making crafts for tourists. But when her half-brother helped her to pursue an education, Edmonia's talent as a sculptor flourished. After leaving America to join the milieu of Italy's artistic sisterhood, Edmonia threw herself into a dedication to art that would see her gain fame, both in Europe and at home. Join us in the bustling art scene of Rome, as we stroll through the arcades and galleries on our search to uncover the life and works of this fascinating figure.If you want to support Deviant Women, follow us on: PatreonTwitter @DeviantWomenFacebook @deviantwomenpodcastInstagram @deviantwomenpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The American sculptor was a celebrated artist in her day, but she receded from the spotlight; her final years remained a mystery for quite some time. Her marble works are striking examples of the neoclassical style popular at the end of the 19th century. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
