Abstract:

This essay argues for Phillis Wheatley and Scipio Moorhead as early contributors to the tradition of Black Ekphrasis. This essay frames "To S.M. [Scipio Moorhead], a Young African Painter, on Seeing his Works," as both an instance and a theorization of Black Ekphrasis. Wheatley's commentary leads to a consideration of the painter and poet's bond under the tyranny of slavery. By way of the Damon-Pythias myth, Wheatley links Black Ekphrasis to the collective pursuit of freedom.

摘要：

本文认为菲利斯·惠特利 (Phillis Wheatley) 和西皮奥·穆尔黑德 (Scipio Moorhead) 是 Black Ekphrasis 传统的早期贡献者。本文将“致一位年轻的非洲画家 SM [Scipio Moorhead] 观看他的作品”作为 Black Ekphrasis 的实例和理论。惠特利的评论引发了人们对奴隶制暴政下画家和诗人之间关系的思考。通过达蒙-皮蒂亚斯神话，惠特利将黑埃克弗拉西斯与对自由的集体追求联系起来。
