Georgia PorchDescription
This charming capture in watercolor shows several small groups engaged in some conversations and interactions of a relaxed manner. The scene exudes intimacy, relaxation, rest, interconnectedness and community. One can also gather that segal is the observer and is not engaged directly or included in this southern depiction. His father moved his family from georgiato the north, eventually to New York City and this may have had a great effect on segal feeling as though he was not included in the culture of the deep South where he was born. Perhapsit is with tenderness he painted this view, with a sort of regret, or longing to belong. Or perhaps he was simply noting the reality of the scene, people being with other people. It is a compelling theory- a theme that runs throughout the human experience, to belong, and is a viable point of view as Segal and his family were jewish in the deep South where there was still some anti-semitism and religious exclusivity.Artwork Details
