A Conjugal Difference, 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour and gouache print by Arthur Burdett Frost. The image depicts an intense domestic dispute between a husband and wife in the late 19th century. The worn-out interior of their cabin reflects the poverty they endure, while the tattered condition suggests a history of violence within their relationship. The painting showcases the struggles faced by African American couples during this time period in North America. The woman's battered appearance hints at her vulnerability and suffering, highlighting the harsh realities many women faced within marital relationships. Frost skillfully captures the raw emotions of this quarrel, portraying both individuals engaged in a heated argument. Their expressions reveal anger and frustration as they confront each other amidst their cramped living space. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by marginalized communities in America's past. It sheds light on issues such as domestic violence, poverty, and inequality that were prevalent during this era. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "A Conjugal Difference" stands as an important historical document that invites viewers to reflect on societal progress while acknowledging how far we still have to go towards achieving true equality for all Americans.
