Why was born into slavery, created by Jean Baptiste Calvo
As one of the most powerful expressions of abolitionist sentiment in visual art, "Why Born Enslaved!" depicts an African woman who is bound by ropes and provocatively looks up. The rope painfully pressed against her breasts; Her tattered shirt hinted at the violence that caused her illness. The original colored surface is covered with complex and intricate shadows and subtle shapes. There is evidence to suggest that this masterpiece of 19th-century French sculpture is the primary model for numerous castings in other museum collections. It is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
