"Taking Sunflower to Teacher," Winslow Homer, 1875.

Homer painted this soon after the Civil War. While the evident paternalism is kinda cringe, at the same time it does salute the importance of education. The butterfly seems to indicate the power of transformation. A mixed bag, but any painting of a black person by a white person will be so.

From the Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, GA.

"The Fox Hunt," Winslow Homer, 1893.

A gorgeous, dramatic picture, one of the artist's best. Arguments over the meaning range from a depiction of Darwinian survival, to a sort of self-portrait, with Homer as the fox and the crows representing negative forces in his life.

From the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. I've been there!

I am loving Smithsonian Open Access, especially its collections of audience images. Check out this 1865 wood-engraving from Winslow Homer: "Our Watering Places--Horse Racing at Saratoga." The excitement and dynamism of the audience in the grandstands, as the racers go by, is palpable, rendered with multidirectional contrasts of light, pattern, and bodily detail.
