I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- VMFA_200102_012.JPG: Glenn Ligon
A Small Band, 2015
"I had to, like, open the bruise up and let some of the blues . . . bruise blood come out to show them."
-- - Daniel Hamm
Ligon has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. Working in a variety of media, from painting to neon sculpture and installations, he presents a raw examination of culture and social identity mediated through the lens of history, literature, iconic works of art, and material culture.
The title of this work is extracted from a quote by Daniel Hamm, imprisoned as part of the famed "Harlem Six" or "Blood Brothers," a group of young black men wrongly accused of murder in 1965. Hamm and four other members of the group -- Wallace Baker, William Craig, Ronald Felder, and Walter Thomas -- were eventually exonerated. Robert Rice however remains incarcerated, serving a life sentence. In a statement shared a few days following his release from police custody, Hamm spoke publicly about the brutality he experienced at the hands of prison guards.
Hamm's quote is particularly poignant against the current social landscape in which incidents of police violence against and wrongful incarcerations of young African American men have continued to rise.

Hands that worked this land
- VMFA_200102_068.JPG: Like this enslaved community photographed in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1862, African Americans owned by the Robinson included men, women, and children.
- VMFA_200102_070.JPG: Two slave houses, listed on tax records for this site, appear on this 1865 map produced by a Union surveyor. The dwellings stood due west of Robinson House. One appears larger, perhaps incorporating the estate kitchen. The arrow designates the location of the mansion and cabins, then accessed from Grove Road by parallel driveways.
- VMFA_200102_072.JPG: At least three newspaper notices regarding escaped slaves were published on behalf of Rebecca Robinson during the Civil War. Her carriage driver, John, described in an 1864 ad, may have been the same man listed on the purchase receipt for $1,740 the previous year.
