With the American centennial Exposition
doors open to an eagerly waiting public on May 10, 1876, Edward Bannister was
not the only black artist included among the painters and sculptors exhibiting
well over a thousand works in memorial Hall. Much to the general surprise a
black sculptor was one of the small numbers of women artists whose works was on
view. Edmonia Lewis was represented by a work in the neoclassic tradition. A
handsomely carved marble called the Dying Cleopatra, which was also singled out
to receive an award at the Exposition. This popular work was probably the most
forthright statement that has yet been made by a Black American artist about
the beauty of African people. A sensitive awareness of her own racial origin
was a basic element in the work of his independent young woman. She was the
first Black to develop her artistic talent, accepting advice from friends such
as the well-known abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, her studies in sculpture
were imaginative, and she exhibited a discipline that convinced her friends on
her serious dedication to art, thus securing their support in her efforts to
continue her studies in Rome.
