8. BMAUSA_161109_050.JPG: To The End, 1907-1909 Gilbert Gaul "To the End" is a composition deeply rooted in the sentimental and oft repeated myth of "loyal slaves": those who followed their masters into battle, rescued them on the battlefields, and even carried their masters' bodies home to the plantation. While some slaveholders did take their so-called "body servants" with them at the outset of the war, their numbers were meager compared to the tens of thousands of slaves who were impressed into service. Although Gaul depicts this stoic black subject as dignified and even heroic, such images served as propaganda for the "real values of the Old South," perpetuating the mistruth that enslaved blacks were willing brothers-in-arms alongside their white masters.

Wikipedia Description: Birmingham Museum of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded in 1951, the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham, Alabama, today has one of the finest collections in the Southeastern United States, with more than 24,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and decorative arts representing a numerous diverse cultures, including Asian, European, American, African, Pre-Columbian, and Native American. Among other highlights, the Museum’s collection of Asian art is considered the finest and most comprehensive in the Southeast, and its Vietnamese ceramics one of the finest in the U.S. The Museum also is home to a remarkable Kress Collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts from the late 13th century to c.1750, and the 18th-century European decorative arts include superior examples of English ceramics and French furniture.

The Birmingham Museum of Art is owned by the City of Birmingham and encompasses 3.9 acres (16,000 m2) in the heart of the city’s cultural district. Erected in 1959, the present building was designed by architects Warren, Knight and Davis, and a major renovation and expansion by Edward Larrabee Barnes of New York was completed in 1993. The facility encompasses 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2), including an outdoor sculpture garden.

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
