Art in Exile

By Harvard Art Museums

Take a closer look & explore the relationship between art and the origins of its creation, looking at different ways in which art objects and artists get removed from their original cultural contexts.

In this comical photomontage, a young man in a black shirt is seated on a red couch. His arms are raised to the left holding a picture of a painting on a stone fragment. The painting depicts a river scene using shades of brown, orange, and blue. A group of men, dressed in long, flowing clothing, stands on a large boat facing left. In the center of the boat is a tall, elaborately decorated canopy, under which a large statue stands on a platform. A few of the men hold long poles with multiple color flags.
