自由民

1863, cast 1891
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 762
ワードによるこの小像は、1862年9月22日にエイブラハム・リンカーン大統領が発した奴隷解放予備宣言当時のアフリカ系アメリカ人を表した座像です。奴隷廃止論者としてのワードの立場を宣言するこの彫像は、この時代最大の政治的・道徳的主題に対する痛烈な批判です。奴隷の身から開放された男性の左手首と右手には壊れた手かせが付いています。写実性を重視した19世紀の先導的彫刻家だったワードは、筋肉質のモデルの身体的特徴と顔つきを正確に捉えています。この像の発想の基は、生まれ故郷のオハイオ州ウルバナの住民、または1858年に南部へ旅した時に出会った人物だったかも知れません。
