Macaulay Night at the Museum: Bicentennial Indian

by: Cassandra Lagana & Olivia Dellston


In our conversation at the museum, we definitely started out by examining the formal properties of the painting. However, we didn’t really discuss how the painting personally made us feel. We did ask questions about the artist’s intentions, but did not examine why it would be in the Brooklyn Museum or how it is presented to us. Our group discussed the story told by the work of art and tried to incorporate a historical perspective. We talked about the feelings of both the artist and the subject of the painting. If we had more time, I feel that we would have elaborated further on our personal opinions of the painting.
