After the Surrender
The depression before you is the trace of the old Richmond-Lynchburg Stage Road. Gen. Robert E. Lee rode this route both to and from his meeting with Grant on April 9, 1865. His return to the army – as he passed towards his headquarters atop the ridge in front of you – turned poignant when hundreds of Confederate soldiers surged around him.
“…shouts sank into silence, every hat was raised, and the bronzed faces of the thousands of grim warriors were bathed with tears… [They] pressed around the noble chief, trying to take his hand, touch his person, or even lay a hand upon his horse…
“The general then, with head bare and tears flowing freely down his manly cheeks, bade adieu to the army. In a few words he told the brave men who had been so true in arms to return to their homes and become worthy citizens.”
– Brig. Gen. Armisted L. Long, CSA
From the caption at the bottom center for the background illustration and inset drawing:
On his return from the village, Lee paused for a time at the orchard before you, waiting for the promised rations from the Federal army to arrive. Then he continued on to his headquarters, his work as army commander done. Meanwhile his army received food (left) from their former enemies – the first food many Confederates had been issued in days.

The Robert Daniel Gallery in downtown Tacoma hosted the Surrender to the Arts Graffiti Series 1.0 Saturday, Dec. 6.
This ongoing study comes off the back of a book my friend sent me discussing points of feminism and the divide amongst the movement.
I wanted to create something that presents the female model in a strong, powerful light, hence the bright red and stark background,
along with the white tie, symbolising her willingness to surrender, rather than it being taken without her consent.
It references a womans strength in being vulnerable, especially as current times call for us to almost imitate male traits in order to succeed rather than pulling on the traits we as women already possess and using them to our advantage.
