The Wolfsonian-FIU,


         
          At the Wolfsonian, out of all the amazing pieces that I saw, there was one piece that really stood out to me. This oil painting was made by Dutch artist, Harald Rudyard Engman in 1941. His subject was an Anti-Nazism , Humor/Satire , Figurative piece and it is about Engman's commentary on the negative aspects of Nazi occupation of Denmark during WWII. The painting has a human pyramid made of different time frames and on left shows Denmark in the past and on the right shows Denmark in the present during WW II.












Here is Ethel Magafan's
Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans.
This piece is depicting the building of bulwarks by
slaves piling up cotton bales.
