This painting that was curated by Jan Petry, it has some of the postmodern strategies such as re- contextualization. In the 19th century New Englanders engaged in painting themselves and members in their family as well. In that time period painting people or themselves was a source of status, people liked to look at paintings that showed statesmen and generals. This relates to re-contextualization because artist created portrait's that defined how life was like, and by using those elements to design something new was part of re - contextualization as well as appropriation.
