2. Provide a thorough formal analysis of O’Sullivan’s Harvest of Death, and compare/contrast it against Kurz and Allison, Storming Fort Wagner (1890, color lithograph) (Links to an external site.)
-
- Think about how war is differently represented in these works; what specific aspects of form and style influence how you see and feel about war.
- Think about how the different mediums — photography vs. lithography (a type of print) — influence the form, style, and overall impact/meaning of these representations of the Civil War.
