C. Goes created this ink drawing of a man and boy looking at an airplane. Although we do not have a date for this work, the clothing styles and presence of an early aircraft suggest it was made in the early 20th century. Consider the cultural context of that time, a period marked by rapid technological advancements and shifting social norms. Airplanes captured the imagination of the public and came to symbolize progress. In the drawing, the man, possibly a father or grandfather, is depicted with a walking stick, wearing traditional attire, while the boy points excitedly towards the sky. The artist captures the wonder and awe of witnessing flight through the eyes of the child, offering a glimpse into a shared moment of excitement between generations. But it also signifies something about the changes to masculinity in the 20th century. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, and a longing for exploration. It reflects the emotional impact of technological advancements on society and the sense of possibility that came with them.
