The Arbus image dates from a time (1960s) in which the unheroic subject, looking wan, perhaps clueless, fortified with external trappings of patriotism like scaffolding, could be read easily as a kind of ironic notation by the photographer regarding the subject at hand - the dream of the flag (& rally) apparent along with the immediate sad reality of its abject participant. Arbus was not a documentary photographer in the professional sense of the term, but her photographs are full of information. I would also state that the image, while with very distinct precedents in composition (August Sander) and subject (Weegee, Lisette Model), is still quite fresh and quite cheeky, unburdened by its “genealogy” - in contradistinction to the studied, deliberate professionalized photography (both art & journalistic) of our time. Given how we all now so routinely perform for the camera, both real & imaginary. these days, there's an “emptiness” in Arbus' image which while it could be perceived as a form of morbidity, can be appreciated for its lack of mediatized “noise.”

Fritz Scholder did a whole series of paintings of Indian men wrapped in or bearing aloft the American flag from 1970 to 1979. These were bitter pictures. Organizers of the retrospective of Scholder’s art opening Nov. 1 at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC and NYC believe that Scholder based some on 19th-century photographs of Indians wrapped in blankets. His “flag” pictures were also painted during a period when Native Americans were fighting and dying in Vietnam War and the Indian Movement had resisted the U.S. government at Alcatraz (’69), and Wounded Knee (’73).
