Notes
English: “Max Pietschmann was a young student at the Art Academy of Dresden when he painted this sensitive study, in 1885, during an especially fraught historical period for Germany. Indeed, just the year before, Germany had established its first colonies in Africa, and visitors to Germany from Africa not only increased but also were regarded with great curiosity by German citizens. Although we do not know his identity, the model for this painting was likely an African performer from a circus that passed through Dresden in November, the month Pietschmann completed this painting. The artist's study offers a window into a complex social moment, creating an image of a Black man that foregrounds his dignity and self-possession at a time when such a portrayal was far from common in German art.” -- note at the Milwaukee Art Museum
Deutsch: “Max Pietschmann war ein junger Student an der Kunstakademie in Dresden, als er diese sensible Studie 1885 malte, in einer für Deutschland besonders bewegten historischen Zeit. Gerade im Jahr zuvor hatte Deutschland seine ersten Kolonien in Afrika gegründet, und die Besucher aus Afrika in Deutschland nahmen nicht nur zu, sondern wurden von den deutschen Bürgern auch mit großer Neugierde betrachtet. Obwohl wir seine Identität nicht kennen, war das Modell für dieses Gemälde wahrscheinlich ein afrikanischer Artist aus einem Zirkus, der im November, dem Monat, in dem Pietschmann dieses Gemälde fertigstellte, in Dresden gastierte. Die Studie des Künstlers bietet einen Einblick in eine komplexe soziale Gemengelage, indem sie ein Bild eines Schwarzen schafft, das seine Würde und Selbstbeherrschung zu einer Zeit in den Vordergrund stellt, in der eine solche Darstellung in der deutschen Kunst alles andere als üblich war." -- Anmerkung des Milwaukee Art Museum
