Round 5: Tossup 16
Black men play the banjo and drink moonshine in an acrylic interpretation of this painting by Robert Colescott. In this painting’s background, a beam of light shines on men in blue coats trying to calm rearing horses. A Black man crouches behind a figure at the front of this painting kicking his leg out with a pole. The view from an artist’s home in Düsseldorf along the Rhine inspired this painting’s large ice chunks. The title figure of this 1851 painting stares towards a snowy shoreline and raises his leg as he stands next to an inaccurate Star and Stripes flag. For 10 points, name this painting by Emmanuel Leutze (“LOYT-suh”) that depicts America’s first president on a rowboat. ■END■
