Harlem Bespoke: The above lithograph of Alexander Dumas père from the 1800s can be seen in Harlem at the Wallach gallery and reveals that the author of
The Three Musketeers had a multi-cultural background. With a little more research, one would discover that part of Dumas' family history actually goes back to colonial Haiti and the famous writer's great grandmother was a former slave. There are also photographs of the novelist and a good amount literature reflecting on his friendship with the artists of the era at the new exhibit called
Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Monet to Matisse. For more photos and additional information, check out our past post:
