Rezensionen
"Black Out explores the history and resurgence of the silhouette in America, and traces its political, social, and artisanal roots. Unfolding the silhouette's paradoxes and complexities, this book presents groundbreaking work on silhouettes, including essentially unknown artists, significant original content, and revelatory interpretations."--Jennifer L. Roberts, author of Transporting Visions: The Movement of Images in Early America
