This painting merges Gainsborough’s “Morning Walk” with a painting from a photo from “La Corne D’Afrique” by Carol Beckwirth and Angela Fisher. Michelangelo’s “Madonna di Bruges” is included. The natural beauty of one mother and child compared to the sanitized Western version of the other. How did the couple in the Gainsborough gain their riches? Was it through the Slave Trade or stealing other country’s natural recourses?”
