“There is a great humanity in Barnes’ vision. The more obvious interpretation is that he is intent upon portraying the deep significance of mankind. But on a subtle level he is a purveyor of what Joseph Campbell calls “bliss,” that rapturous state of being attainable by those who commit their intelligence and their imagination to an ideal.” ~ Joan d’Arcy

"Angelica Peale Robinson," Moses Williams, 1802-05.

Williams (c. 1770 - c. 1830) was a formerly enslaved Black silhouette artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Williams' parents were acquired by artist Charles Willson Peale, who later freed them, and Moses was raised along with Peale's children in his very artistic household. Some reports claim Williams was mixed-race and could pass, leaving unanswered questions about his parents.

Williams grew up to be a successful silhouette artist, and became one of few Black men in Philadelphia to own property when he bought his own house He married a former Peale servant and fathered four children, but further details of his family are unknown.

I love silhouettes, and the detail work on this is exquisite when your realize this is black paper cut with scissors and perhaps with detail cut with a knife.

Happy Portrait Monday!
