In this photomontage, a smiling young man stands next to a tree, gesturing toward a landscape painting that appears to float. In the foreground of the painting, two boys and a horse clear a large brown field.

On this tour, Ricardo Fernandes Garcia ’27 will explore how representations of innocence have enabled artists to address conflict and war. The stops on the tour are Winslow Homer’s The Brush Harrow (1865), which depicts a scene from childhood; George Grosz’s Nutcracker(1931), which features a group of toys; and Joseph Cornell’s Midnight Carrousel (1954), which suggests the imagination at work.
