1月20日星期三的一部分就职课程中,由新的第一夫人吉尔宾馆选择的一幅画展示在美国国会大厦中展出。举办了一大块历史性意义。

1859年的石油工作,“彩虹景观”是由罗伯特·塞尔顿邓西森,是内战时代的最着名和最受欢迎的非洲裔美国画家之一。这幅画来自史密森尼美国艺术博物馆的集合,并展示了一个彩虹上升,在一个绿色的牧场上点缀着与男人和女人的母牛一起点缀着。彩虹是重生的象征,风暴和多样性和包容后更新。彩色社区和LGBTQ社区都使用彩虹作为文化意义。

According to the museum website, Duncanson was born in Seneca County, N.Y., in either 1821 or 1822. He lived in Cincinnati for much of his life and was supported by abolitionists who bought his paintings and sponsored his trip to Europe to study Old Master works. The artist’s vision of rural, bucolic America as a kind of Arcadia or paradise is a characteristic feature of his work, said to represent a late hope for peace before the onset of Civil War.

In the context of the 2020 election and turmoil brought to the country by the coronavirus, political division and the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the painting seems to symbolize a fresh start for the country under the Biden administration, no doubt a consideration when Jill Biden selected it.

在他在美国景观绘画的影响力的高度,Duncanson屈服于1872年在底特律中死亡。
