43 Kara Walker Uses images from historical textbooks to show how African American slaves were depicted during the Antebellum south One foot is in the historical realism of slavery and the other in the fantastical space of the romantic novel These works simultaneously seduce and implicate the audience The show's title, "My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love," points to the complexity of the black-white relationship. Her work has been criticized by other artists, intellectuals and collectors as exploiting stereotypes. Of mocking or aggravating the victim's suffering. And maybe she does. Is that unfair? Or tough love?

44 Kara Walker Nightmarish yet fantastical images incorporate a cinematic feel Uses the traditionally popular Victorian medium of sihouette and places it on the walls The figures typically inflict violence on one another
