@JPBowles Grosz's images are just so raw and unflinching. This is his A Little Child Shall Lead Them (Family), 1932 @hirshhorn
Another painted vision of hoods: In this study for a mural, "Interruption," for the 1940 American Negro Exposition in Chicago, artist William Edouard Scott depicted hooded klansmen appearing in a doorway, conveying the terror of the home's occupants
Also, if we're going to talk about the cancellation of the Guston show, can we get past identifying his figures *only* as Ku Klux Klan members? This 1829 watercolor of penitents in the Colosseum is from—wait for it—the @ngadc collection https://t.co/s9OIuEfR7W
@jsf Equally relevant are Guston's depictions of Nixon, as in his painting San Clemente of 1975
@RealSparklePony @hirshhorn @ngadc Here's another one by Grosz that seems so relevant right now: A Little Child Shall Lead Them (Family), 1932 @hirshhorn
@erazlogo @OhioState Just by way of follow-up: to be fair Lichtenstein's 1950s work was pretty lackluster. And one could argue that it was precisely all those years of rejection and difficulty that turned him into the artist we now know
As an additional note, the museum also holds a companion or pendant image with the cats replaced by owls and a rooster now taking on the role of conductor https://t.co/hf12bLOgxH
But there are redeeming features, like this fellow in profile who would be called in internet parlance "a real chonk"
