About the Item
Gammell Trust #W126. Signed and dated in pencil lower right: "R.H. Ives Gammell, Paris, 1917".
This is a very early work and despite the fact that it is squared off for enlargement, there is no evidence that it was ever enlarged and finished. When Gammell began working towards his vision of possible allegories he used classical references in both the titles and the dress of the figures. Later, he realized that classical references served to obscure rather than to enhance his meaning.
This study was done by Gammell when he was in the U.S. Army, serving with Allied Intelligence in Paris.

- Civil Rights, Racial Justice Little RockBy Philip EvergoodLocated in Miami, FL"Civil Rights." Evergood's early commentary on racial issues in the 1950s depicts four black men gagged, roped and hanging from a tree. In the background, imprisoned blacks look on through a barbed-wire fence. Whites watch in horror but do nothing to help. Meanwhile, a two-legged and three-headed serpent who symbolizes evil - wraps himself around the tree that physically and symbolically separates the races. This is an important work in the history of American art. It may be one of the very earliest examples of a major American painter doing a major work that challenges racial segregation and injustice at a time when no one else would. The title of the work is inspired by a Historic Supreme Court decision on racial segregation. The Little Rock...Category
