Peter Brathwaite is a baritone opera singer, a music columnist for some United Kingdom newspapers, and a developer of music programming. He is also known for his recreations of black portraits in art.
Music career
He developed the musical "Effigies of Wickedness" in collaboration with the English National Opera, an operatic exploration of the music banned by the Nazi regime.[1] He has also given recitals using the works of the Degenerate music ("degenerate music") exhibition.[2]
Black portraiture
His series of photographs, Black Portraiture, began as part of the online J. Paul Getty Museum Challenge of recreations of works of art. Brathwaite recreated specifically portraits of black men and women primarily from art from the 16th to the 18th centuries.[3] His recreations use modern objects, and result in a commentary and re-portrayal of the subjects, especially of their presentation as servants or slaves.[4] Eleven of the works were exhibited at Kings College in London. [5]
Writing
He writes music and art-related columns for The Guardian and The Independent. His audio essay for BBC, "In Their Voices", on five singers from whom he has drawn inspiration, was shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society award for storytelling.[6]
