This thread is specifically for Black ARTWORK (IE, DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES) by for and/or of Black People...and nothing ancient that will spark a Black/yte argument please and thanks, as while it may fit the description of the thread, I don't care to have the yte/Black argument ruining this thread- and that argument will happen.
I would also appreciate that nothing inappropriate be posted in this thread.
We have another thread celebrating the Black Beauty of Our People, so we don't need photographs in this thread, thank you.
This thread is to celebrate the TALENT of Our People, and I would like it to be NON-controversial...Your cooperation is appreciated...

'The little girl in this painting is innocent of the fact that society may not find her appearance acceptable and regardless of the transformation that she may make to try to please society that it is in vain. She has to learn that what she is.....is what she is and she should accept the fact that she is truly beautiful just as she is. She does not need to do things like straighten her hair or anything else to change her appearance to receive society’s approval.'
Something In-between - Oil painting Artist Jordan Clarke explores her mixed-race identity through paintings of self-portraiture. This series looks at being “in-between” as both a physical and psychological state for bi-racial women of the 21st century, where there is constant pressure to assume predetermined racial and gender roles created by society.

Jean-Baptiste Belley ca. 1740-1805
Jean-Baptiste Belley, also known as Mars, was a former slave from Saint-Domingue who became one of the first Black men to hold elective office in France. Born in the West African island of Goreé, part of present-day Senegal, Belley was sold into slavery as a toddler, eventually arriving in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, he became educated and was able to purchase his freedom as an adult. In 1793, following the French Revolution, he was elected as the only Black member of a three person coalition sent to France to represent the colony of Saint-Domingue in the National Convention, where he spoke in defense of the Abolition of slavery on February 1794. Slavery was briefly abolished in the French colonies that same year, only to be reinstated after Napoleon’s rise to power five years later. Belley stayed as a member of the Convention, and later the Council of the Five Hundred, until losing his seat in 1797. He then obtained a position in the gendarmerie nationale and returned to Saint-Domingue on official missions. While in France, his portrait (shown above) was painted by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, a pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Belley returned to Saint-Domingue with Charles LeClerc in 1802, the year slavery was reinstated in the French colonies, and was arrested on orders of Napoleon Bonaparte. He travelled again to France, this time as a prisoner, where he died in 1805. The portrait is currently at the Musée national du Château de Versailles.

Casta painting, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 'These paintings, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, were intended to force a social hierarchy out of the myriad mixed-race marriages that took place in colonial Latin America by creating racial names for the offspring of these marriages. A Spanish-Amerindian child was called a mestizo. Here, a Indian-African child is shown to be a Loba. Each “mixed” child had a place in the system, but none surpassed the Peninsular, a Spanish-born Spaniard.'
