ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「Happy New Year! In this illustration, Winslow Homer noted a custom that was familiar to many Americans of his time: the New Year’s Day social call. Every January 1st, households would receive guests for short visits; typically, women would dress up and remain home as hostesses, while men went out to make the rounds of their social circles. Through this tradition, which was observed from the Dutch colonial era of the 1600s through the Gilded Age of late 1800s, many people celebrated this day as an opportunity to renew bonds with friends and family, share good wishes for the year ahead, and enjoy food and drink together.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 2020 has significantly changed the ways we gather and observe important dates. Despite the challenges of our current circumstances, we’ve still found ways to connect, from video chats to socially distanced outdoor dining. How can we continue to sustain our own ties with family, friends, and neighbors? What new rituals might we create to carry us forward into 2021?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Winslow Homer (American, 1836-1910).
