July 31, 2020
With Diana Greenwold, Curator of American Art, and Dana Byrd, Assistant Professor of Art History, Bowdoin College
Uncle Ned at Home by Winslow Homer (1875) is currently on view in the galleries and presents a vexing image for contemporary viewers. From problematic racial stereotyping to Homer’s depiction of the post-war American South, the painting itself is full of conflicting moments. In this video, Diana Greenwold, Curator of American Art, and Dana Byrd, Assistant Professor of Art History, Bowdoin College, come together on Zoom to discuss the work.
