Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Sunday Afternoon in the Country," Florine Stettheimer, 1917.</p><p>Stettheimer (1871-1944) was a Modernist painter and theatrical designer, as well as a pioneering feminist, poet, and salonniere. </p><p>While at first glance this seems rather mundane, the colors are strange; check out the red tree. Some of the characters seem to be doing bizarre, random things, and some appear to be sitting in upholstered armchairs. </p><p>In reality, this is her memory of a picnic she held; in the upper right, hardly visible, she paints herself working at her easel. In the lower left, photographer Edward Steichen points his camera at Dada founder Marcel Duchamp. leaning on a table, while Ettie Stettheimer (the artist's sister) stands behind him in the red coat. Other real-life people are depicted, but in a strange style reminiscent of Chagall.</p><p>Stettheimer refused to identify with any group or school; her work is Modernist by default for the time she worked in and her style. Not taken seriously in her liftetime, her work was donated to museums and rediscovered in the 1990s, and now she is hailed as a great American artist.</p><p>From the Cleveland Museum of Art.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FlorineStettheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlorineStettheimer</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Modernism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Modernism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AmericanArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanArt</span></a></p>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Portrait of Dr. Elisabeth Winterhalter," Ottilie W. Roederstein, 1887-88.</p><p>Born in Zurich, Roederstein (1859-1937) became interested in art at an early age, which horrified her conventional parents, but they eventually allowed her to study with a local artist. It became obvious she was hugely talented, &amp; her married sister, who lived in Berlin, took her in so she could continue her studies. By 1882 she had her first exhibition, &amp; in 1887 was totally self-supporting as an artist. She continued to exhibit &amp; traveled widely until 1931, when she retired.</p><p>The subject of this charming portrait is Dr. Elisabeth Winterhalter (1856-1952), Germany's first woman doctor, &amp; also Roederstein's partner. She also defied her family by going to study medicine in Zurich, where she and Roederstein met &amp; fell in love. Elisabeth returned to Germany where she practiced obstetrics &amp; gynecology, but didn't receive a full medical license until 1902, when German law was changed to allow women doctors.</p><p>The Third Reich largely ignored them; by then both were retired &amp; living quietly. Elisabeth was honored by West German president Heuss for her contributions to the medical field shortly before her death at 95. She &amp; Ottilie are buried together.</p><p>From the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OttilieRoederstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OttilieRoederstein</span></a></p>

From the museum: “Vigée Le Brun admired the duchesse de Polignac (1749–1793)—a favorite of Marie Antoinette and governess to the royal children—for what the artist described as her beauty, sweetness, and solid mind. Shown here in traveling costume, the sitter emigrated in July 1789, eventually settling in Vienna, where she died only a few years later.”</p>

Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>Your art history post for today: by Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012), On the Subway, 1986, lithograph, 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm).

Directly addressing people whose perspectives and experiences, like hers, had historically been excluded from artistic representation, Catlett developed a distinctive visual language defined by its carefully delineated forms and strong compositional focus. Merging the political with the personal, her work influenced younger generations of artists, including many associated with the Black Arts movement of the 1960s and ’70s, who shared her activist principles and commitment to harnessing art for Black liberation.”</p>

I've talked about her before, so I won't repeat myself, except to say the basics: She was a painter of florals and still lifes who was enormously popular and charged high prices in her lifetime, and is also the best-documented female artist of her time, thanks her to habit of adding her age to her signature on all her paintings. She is regarded as one of the greatest still life artists of all time.</p><p>Here we have a lovely bouquet with roses, pansies, irises, calendula, dianthus, and others, with a few insects buzzing about or landing on the petals. Her father was a teacher of anatomy and botany, so she learned to look at flowers and insects closely and examine their structure, to recreate them realistically on the canvas.</p><p>A perfect painting for Flower Friday!</p><p>From the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DutchGoldenAge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DutchGoldenAge</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RachelRuysch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RachelRuysch</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FlowerFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlowerFriday</span></a></p>

Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>By Slava Gerulak (born 1933), Girl (Decorative Plate), n.d., ceramic, The Ukrainian Museum, New York. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/womenartists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>womenartists</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/ceramics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceramics</span></a></p><p>From the museum: “A given work can be about functional design or about purely creative art, and occasionally about both. Befitting her roots, Gerulak imaginatively continues to use beguiling imagery in her ceramic work, reflecting the same fascination with her heritage and the richness with which it can be translated into clay. She adapts iconic likenesses of mermaids, nymphs, protectresses, mother and child, villagers in folk costumes, and head adornment with floral wreaths to the style of her own figural ceramics so successfully that they manifest the unmitigated embodiment of womanhood. Gerulak draws upon lush imagery and abundant Ukrainian customs, but creatively renews and revises these traditions as well.”</p>
Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>Your art post for today: Spring time: Olesia, oil on linen, by contemporary Ukrainian artist Iryna Kalyuzhna (Ирина Калюжная), currently living in the Netherlands. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/womenartists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>womenartists</span></a></p><p>From Saatchi Art: ‘Looking at classical painting with modern eyes, she is inspired by a kind of 'modern realism', in which the influence of impressionism is visible.</p><p>The works made in the oil painting technique combine a traditional and decorative approach. The main field of the artist's research are female images. It always preserves the portrait likeness of the model, but adds an element of individuality to the conceived image. Characteristic themes are clearly traced in the artist's work: the national identity of Ukrainian women, Ukrainian traditional clothing and culture, the theme of motherhood and the female body. The war forced her to leave Ukraine, but her work continues. “It is important for everyone to decide and understand what you must do and to what you dedicate yourself,” she says, continuing: “I would like to bring more beauty and positive emotions into this world.”’</p><p>Her Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ikalyuzhnaart/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">instagram.com/ikalyuzhnaart/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
