Subject
In the Visual Art Collection, we focus on artworks found in the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We explore how certain images represent lynching and the different meanings and associations these representations evoke. We engage in a form of visual rhetorical analysis in which we attend to the image’s formal features as well as its manifest content. The primary sources we examine include photographs, paintings, and prints. Through our analyses and exhibitions, we attempt to continue the work begun with the Documentary Archive Exhibit by adding another artistic dimension to our investigations. Aside from the formal features and content of the artwork, we also explore the pieces’ authors, sociohistorical milieu, and provenance. Moreover, we hope to draw parallels between these artistic representations of lynching and the literary representations we have explored in class.
