DBQ7: Artistic Responses to the Industrial Age
Gustave Courbet (koor-BAY) painted common people he saw in the French countryside. The painting here is titled Girls Sifting Corn. Like Friedrich, Courbet had something to say about an artist's subject matter:
An abstract object, invisible or nonexistent, does not belong to the domain of painting.
Show me an angel and I'll paint one.
