Snap the Whip
Artist: Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910)
Original Dimensions: 12" x 20"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1872) "Snap the Whip celebrates the pleasures of childhood in a rough-and-tumble game. Homer’s barefoot boys are determined and exuberant—an optimistic symbol of the nation’s future after the destruction of the Civil War, and a popular centennial theme. The teamwork and coordination involved in the game were seen as essential qualities for reuniting the country, though Homer suggested the challenges ahead through a break in the human chain. The scene is infused with nostalgia, immortalizing the little red schoolhouse just as the nation was shifting away from its agrarian past toward an increasingly urbanized future." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
