After the war, Homer started to paint women--not the nudes of classical European painting, but young working women. The MFA show has over 50 canvases devoted to women, in various scenes: at work, playing croquet, or simple portraits. In his "Morning Bell," a red-and-white clad woman walks to her factory job; in the background other women are doing farm chores. This shows the transition from America's agrarian past to the post-War industrial economy; Homer's eye is focused on the trends in the lives of average citizens...
...period of his life, Homer started to paint scenes from the small fishing town where he lived. This phase produced some of his famous seascapes, such as "The Fog Warning," which shows a fisherman riding a mountainous wave, his head turned to listen to the foghorn.

"Things that women are involved in purchasing are showing up a lot more," notes Brown. Traditional sponsors, such as Valvoline and Skoal chewing tobacco, are increasingly sharing side-panel space with such brands as Tide, Maxwell House and the Family Channel...
...that just made me think of all the ways Lamar Alexander manages to paint Dole as a geezer without using the word old. In TV interviews, he keeps saying, "I have new ideas, and Senator Dole has, er, ah, Washington ideas." He constantly asks if Dole is the person to lead the country "into the next century." If Thurmond jumped into the Republican presidential race, which now doesn't seem all that farfetched, Alexander could say Strom's not the man to lead the country into his next century...
