In the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s audio guide to its famous 1866 painting \u2018Prisoners from the Front\u2019 by Winslow Homer, the Union general Francis Channing Barlow is described as a \u2018restrained Northern Puritan\u2019 type vs the \u2018dashing and impulsive\u2019 Southerner at center. In Hilary Harkness<\/a>\u2019 version of the painting, seen here and now on view at PPOW Gallery<\/a>, Barlow is nothing of the sort.\u00a0 In a series of paintings that Harkness created over a four-year period from 2019 to 2023, she reimagines Barlow as a trans man, in love with Charles, the Black Union solider pictured here (a major alteration from the original), who fights with such single-minded fervor for the Union that he pauses only briefly (and secretly) during battle to give birth to Charles\u2019 child.\u00a0 Told through meticulously detailed paintings that picture Charles\u2019 heroics while documenting the racial injustices and oppression of Confederate culture, Harkness\u2019 narrative is both absorbing and unforgettable.\u00a0 (On view through Nov 11th<\/sup> in Tribeca).<\/p>\n
