I'd like to move on now to still life painting in the Unit States. Now the early American still lifes were modeled on seventeenth century Dutch still life paintings, the image of which often symbolize the home and the growing properity of Dutch merchants. So in these early Amrican paintings, you might see, for example, in the first half of the nineteenth century, many American were prosperous, and shopping and accumulating things were major pastimes. So in these paintings, the consumer oriented in American society is considered true display of goods that suggested the luxury and social status. Well, this also suggested with the representation of plentiful food, fragile flowers and other beautiful objects of natural world. Then, after the civil war, in approximaely the mid nineteenth century, the mood of the country changed. Likewise, the mood of the paitings changed. For example , the artists might apply the painting roughly to depict the group of battered old things that symbolize difficult times and disappearance of good days. So let's look at some Flight's paintings from this period and see if you can determine when the paintings were created1 S5 h2 _+ n2 J9 H

There is nothing you can do to escape history, perhaps you don't realize it but you are always surrounded by things that connected you to the past. Take for example something as simple as bobby pin the people somtimes wear in their hair. It goes back 10'000 years. Ancient graves in Asia contain hairpin made a bone and iron, silver and gold. In funcation, they are little different from what we use today. Cleopatra is set to perfer hairpins of ivory that was decorated with jewels. Roman hairpins were sometimes hollow inside making them better to carry posion in. Now the modern bobby pin owns its name and shape to 17th century French court where wigs were in fashion. They made wearing the wigs easier as they were used to pin the people's real hair very close to the head. That was call bob hair. The U shaped pin that facilitated these was called a bobbed with pin which became bobby pin in England 18th century. Then in the 19th century, the bobby pin that still uses today, the one made steel wire began to be mass producd.
