“Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Claude Buck (American 1890 - 1974), The Things That Are Caesar's, 1943, oil on fiberboard and oil on wood of integral frame.
“Here, Buck painted objects that evoke war, including a gun, artillery shell, helmet, and knife. He was disgusted by the events of World War II and painted this image to show that conflict and human cruelty are the responsibility of the "Caesars" of the modern world.” Smithsonian American Art Museum
