Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Portrait of a Young Woman, with 'Puck' the Dog," Thérèse Schwartze, c. 1879-85.</p><p>Schwartze (1851-1918) was a Dutch portraitist, herself the daughter of a painter. She operated an independent atelier in Paris, which was eyebrow-raising for a single woman of the time, but she cared little. She is best known for her portraits of Amsterdam's wealthy elite, done in a Realist style that resembles John Singer Sargent to a degree.</p><p>All the information I can find on the model is that she was Italian and nicknamed "Fortunata," and was a favorite with many artists working in Paris at the time. And I know nothing of the dog. But it's how the woman's and dog's eyes meet that gives this picture charm without being overly cloying or sentimental; one thinks he's about to burst through that curtain and enact some dramatic scene, and is looking to her faithful dog for support.</p><p>She was honored by the Uffizi by being invited to contribute some of her work to their galleries, a rarity for a woman artist. She lived with extended family for many years, married late in life in 1906, but both she and her husband Anton passed in 1918. Still, her work remains popular today in the Netherlands although not very well known anywhere else.</p><p>Happy Portrait Monday!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PortraitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortraitMonday</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ThereseSchwartze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThereseSchwartze</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenInArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Still Life: Basket with Fruit on a Table," Ottilie W. Roederstein, 1909.</p><p>I've written about Roederstein before; she was a Swiss/German painter, mainly portraits, and was the partner of Elisabeth Winterhalter, a pioneering doctor. (I've featured a number of queer artists this week, purely by chance.)</p><p>This still life may have been done as an exercise; it's not her usual thing. It's appropriate for late summer, with the apples and pears, but also a nice juxtaposition of colors. Still lifes can be bland, but here she has colors meeting each other while not being overwhelming. A very nice work.</p><p>Roederstein was fairly famous in her day as a portrait painter, but is largely forgotten today and deserves rediscovery. Look for her self-portrait with a hat; I love that painting.</p><p>From the Städel, Frankfurt.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StillLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StillLife</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AcademicArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OttilieRoederstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OttilieRoederstein</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LBGTQArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LBGTQArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a></p>
Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Abstract Composition," Mainie Jellett, 1929.</p><p>Irish painter Jellett (1897-1944) was one of the first artists to show Abstract art in Ireland, and was a tireless promoter of Irish modern art. She also participated in the 1928 Olympic Arts competition.</p><p>Also a talented pianist, she was undecided between music and painting in her youth, but decided on art. She was taught by such artists as William Orpen and Walter Sickert, and for a time painted in an Impressionist vein. In 1921 she and lifelong companion Evie Hone (perhaps her lover; it is unclear but considered likely) visited Paris and first encountered Cubism and modern art. In 1923 she exhibited two Cubist paintings and was purely Modern art from then on forward. </p><p>She was never famous outside of Ireland but was a pioneer of Irish avant-garde and a great promoter of new young artists.</p><p>From a private collection.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AbstractArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbstractArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MainieJellett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MainieJellett</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/IrishAvantGarde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IrishAvantGarde</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LGBTQArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Maybe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maybe</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a></p>
Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>Your art history post for today: by Japanese woman artist Negishi Ayako (1913-1948), Waiting for Makeup (Keshō o matsu化粧 を待), 1938, black ink and coloured pigment on paper, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arthistory</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/womanartist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>womanartist</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/womenartists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>womenartists</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/asianart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asianart</span></a></p><p>From the museum’s Instagram: “Already an accomplished contemporary artist by her early 20’s, Ayako specialised in bijin-ga, or portraits of beautiful people.</p><p>In this work, two women wear stylish Western-cut clothing with 'Marcelled' hair waves, made popular by a French hair stylist at the time. We see hairpins and a beaded bag by their side – a reflection of the latest Japanese fashions of the 1930s. </p><p>🔍 If you look even closer, you can see the beautiful use of vibrantly coloured traditional Japanese powdered pigments. Applied with water, the pigments often leave a 'puddling' water-stain effect after drying.”</p>
Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"A Limier Briquet Hound," Rosa Bonheur, c. 1856.</p><p>Bonheur (1822-99) was likely the most famous female artist of the 19th century, although her star has faded somewhat. She is known mostly as a painter of animals, including this portrait of a hunting dog belonging to a Vicomte d'Armaille. </p><p>Bonheur loved to draw almost from birth; her mother had to teach her the alphabet by having her draw animals that went with each letter. Her family belonged to a Christian socialist sect that encouraged equal education for women, so her father, a portraitist himself, taught her art. </p><p>She achieved much acclaim, and was the first woman artist to be award the French Legion of Honor. She was an open lesbian who wore men's clothing (although some still argue there's no proof she was queer) and a pet cemetery named for her is a short drive from where I am now.</p><p>Her art fell from favor after she died; some seeing it as too sentimental. But in the 1970s interest was revived and while not as popular as she once was, she is again respected as a trailblazer for other women artists.</p><p>Happy Portrait Monday!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PortraitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortraitMonday</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RosaBonheur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RosaBonheur</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QueerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QueerArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QueerArtists</span></a></p>
Firestorm Books<p>Is the all-encompassing quest to become a self-sustaining artist worth the sacrifices it often requires? Is art enough?</p><p>At the end of the month, we'll wrestle with these questions alongside author and UNC-CH professor of creative nonfiction Stephanie Elizondo Griest, who will be sharing her latest book "Art Above Everything: One Woman's Global Exploration of the Joys and Torments of a Creative Life."</p><p>Stephanie, whose books and journalistic writings have taken many awards, is a globetrotting author/activist originally from South Texas.

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Flowers in a Vase," Mary Moser, 1765.</p><p>Moser (1744-1819) was a British painter, perhaps the most celebrated woman painter of her time.</p><p>Born in London, the daughter of a Swiss goldsmith, Moser won awards for her floral paintings as young at 14. She explored portraits and history paintings, but florals were her great strength. </p><p>At 25, she joined 35 other artists, including her father, to form the Royal Academy. She and portraitist Angelica Kauffman were the only two women, and it wasn't until 1936 that another woman was allowed membership. (Boo, sexism!) But Moser thrived, helped by the patronage of Queen Charlotte, wife of George III.</p><p>Moser retired as a professional artist at 53, marrying a Capt. Lloyd, but continued to paint and exhibit as an amateur under her married name. She also generated a bit of scandal with her open affair with another artist, Richard Cosway.</p><p>Even today she is respected as a bold floral artist, and for her role in founding the Royal Academy.</p><p>Happy Flower Friday!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MaryMoser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaryMoser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FlowerFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlowerFriday</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RoyalAcademy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoyalAcademy</span></a></p>
