Journal Article
The Funny Thing about Trees
2015
Overview
Elizabeth Bishop's Tombstones seems to contain a sense of humor as well as a sense of wonder. Behind the astonishing tree, manmade objects dutifully line up to stake their claims for Man. Yet the objects' effort to stand out from the crowd feels ruefully comic, especially given that the tree steals the show. Analyzing the painting, Bevis examines the relationship between the headstone and the tree.
