Artists have incorporated its graphic stars and stripes into their work to achieve aesthetic ends\, critique social and political inequalities\, celebrate freedom and democracy\, support and mourn our troops\, and express despair and hope. For many American citizens\, as well as people around the world\, our flag is a uniquely powerful and complex symbol of nationhood. \nAn independent curator\, Robin Jaffee Frank has organized numerous exhibitions at museums throughout the US\, lectured extensively\, and published widely on American visual culture from the colonial through contemporary periods. She formerly served as Chief Curator and Curator of American Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford\, Connecticut\, and Senior Associate Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven\, Connecticut. Robin holds a PhD in the history of art from Yale University. \nImage of Dr. Robin Jaffee Frank. \n
