After Manet Possibly 2002 - 2015

"After Manet" is a photograph by American artist Carrie Mae Weems, likely created between 2002 and 2015. The circular composition, framed in black, features a group of three young Black girls, posing against a backdrop of foliage. The work is a poignant commentary on representation and Black womanhood. This image is likely inspired by Édouard Manet's famous painting "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe," and Weems’ work reflects on the enduring themes of race and gender in Western art.
