The article 'Civil War images' was published on the website of 'Richmond Times-Dispatch' on March 3, 2013. It was written by Philip Kennicott.
The aim of the article is to give the reader some information about the Civil War in USA. Mr. Kennicott writes about the paintings which helps to imagine the days of that war.
The author reports about the Civil War exhibition, which take place in Washington museum. But the most peculiar thing is that in these paintings war isn't in the foreground. And instead of warlike things such as cannons and guns, there appears landscapes and portraits of people taking part in war.
To prove his statement, Philip Kennicott describes Winslow Homer's paintings, as he depicts not only the action of war, but also its preparation. Also this exhibition includes paintings of Sanford Robinson Gifford and Martin Johnson Heade. Their works reflect the state of potents of war by painting ugly landscapes, such as dead trees, low grey clouds, and the view of boats on a placid bay. And the author draws our attention to that artists invented a special language for describing the war.
Kennicott points out that this exhibition gives a detailed view of the Civil War. Though there are only 75 paintings and, they don't cover all themes, nevertheless these pictures gives us a full information of how the war inited people to struggle against their enemies.
In conclusion, the author adds that although these pictures can be seemed boring and uninteresting without great battles, but they remind us of the bad and the ugly from that war. War is not an entertainment.
I fully agree with the author. Such kind of paintings helps us not to forget why war is awful. And I'm sure, while people keep it in mind our society is safe.
