A combined creation of an artist, an explorer, nature and the war. Artist Frederic Edwin Church and Dr. Isaac Israel Hayes, an arctic explorer took interest in each other's profession. Church provided lessons to the explorer before his journey for the far north so that he might return with some drawings from his journey. In the landscape, depicting a frame during the winter and early spring of 1864 to 1865, an explorer's ship frozen in ice under a arctic sky filled with aurora borealis and flickering lights from the war. Lights inside the small ship and a tiny dogsled racing towards the ship confirms human presence. The flickering red colored wave of light through the consistent aurora lights and breathtaking nature created a celestial environment.

A Ride for Liberty -- The Fugitive Slaves - Eastman Johnson An anxious moment as the family makes a break for the Union lines. In the chilly predawn glow in the sky as the sun begins to rise, the black family on a dark horse makes their break for freedom. The painting narrates the anxiety about the risks the blacks were willing to take to reach the "free states"; irrespective of the unknown reception these fugitives would receive. Both adult figures facing different directions. His determination to reach safety of the Union lines, leaning forward as he urges his horse forward. Her body and mind is busy gazing back where they are coming from along with the expression of dramatic moment of uncertainty of their fate and the fate of all enslaved Americans. Due to political issues, Eastman Johnson could never publicly display this painting. . . . . . #civilwarhistory #brandedheels #baroquestyle #blogger_deutschland #artistdrop #artistbook #artistic_dome #energysmartdiet #artistry #bloggerargentina #caravaggisti #bloggen #bloggera #intags #art_helps #coffeeart #brandedbagsph #brandeditem #artworking #baroqueart #earth #blogers #art #arts #artistbear #artistasdeltatuaje #art_hyperrealistic #blogbeaute #energysmart #artistavisual https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_Fyb_BI6H/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Negro Life at the South", 1859 by Eastman Johnson. Oil on linen. On the eye of Civil War, with Negro Life at the South, Eastman Johnson has depicted a referendum on the definition of race. Painted open-ended yet pointed questions about what constitutes the definition of race. Observe deeply what and how everyone is doing in this painting. Starting from the (1)fence between the two houses both visually divides and purposefully connects; to the (2)light blue fabric descends from the window that depicts a way in and out without using the front door. (3)A white colored cat slinking into the bedrooms of slave quarters. (4)The mixture of white and brown spots on the dog. (5)Darker skinned woman of the chimney holding much lighter skinned baby. (6)Young mulatto couple in the lower left corner. (7)Somber banjo player and the (8)small boy with the broken pull toy. Most importantly the (9)white girl stepping through the doorway is the focus of the painting. Every one in the yard is least bothered and does not stop from what they were doing to acknowledge her arrival. Each and every detail in this painting starting from colors to the positions, expressions are holding significant value for the entire depiction. . . . . . #civilwarhistory #brandedheels #baroquestyle #blogger_deutschland #artistdrop #artistbook #artistic_dome #energysmartdiet #artistry #bloggerargentina #caravaggisti #bloggen #bloggera #intags #art_helps #coffeeart #brandedbagsph #brandeditem #artworking #baroqueart #earth #blogers #art #arts #artistbear #artistasdeltatuaje #art_hyperrealistic #blogbeaute #energysmart #artistavisual https://www.instagram.com/p/CW7kko4qa6J/?utm_medium=tumblr

“knowledge is the pathway from slavery to freedom.” -- quoted by former slave and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass was taught the alphabet in secret at age twelve by his master’s wife, Sophia Auld. As he grew older, Douglass took charge of his own education, obtaining and reading newspapers and books in secret. Douglass was one of the few literate slaves who regularly taught others how to read. Younger slaves frequently listened outside school houses where their masters’ children were learning. Enslaved people who were caught reading or writing were severely punished, as were their teachers. In every instance these slaves and those who taught them undertook a profound risk, which for many was surmounted by the individual’s passion, commitment and imagination. .

Amongst the five African American in this painting, three children listening intently to a young girl instructing how to read (Bible on her lap). Nearby an elderly woman, presumably a former slave, appears deep in thought, her gaze indicating her attention is elsewhere. Homer sets up a dichotomy between the two generations, one who certainly has clear memories of the restrictions slavery imposed, and another that has, for the most part, grown up in the freedom of the Reconstruction era. It was illegal for slaves and free blacks to gather for the purpose of learning to read or write. Imprisonment, whippings, and fines were several punishments for disobeying the law. .
