Image description

Neither painting nor sculpture, the American artist’s work is a citation of Manet’s Olympia (1863). At the time, this painting, showing a prostitute rather than a Venus, caused a scandal. Rivers, meanwhile, evokes another scandal: that of the segregation of the Blacks in the US. Here we see a twofold opposition: master/slave and black/white, denouncing the arbitrary nature of social conditions for Afro-Americans. With its composite elements, this picture belongs to the modern collage and assemblage tradition.
