Le Guerrier, Figure I from Hector and Andromeda by Giorgio de Chirico, c. 1945-1948, Legion of Honor (San Francisco, CA)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Surrealism #MetaphysicalArt

De Chirico often portrayed classical heroes and warriors as faceless, mannequin-like figures constructed from geometric shapes, architectural elements, and metal plates. The subject connects to classical Greek mythology and Homer’s Iliad, specifically the figures of Hector and his wife Andromache.

Artistic touchstones tend toward cult figures like Forrest Bess or Antonin Artaud, and recurring subjects include Greek sculpture, butoh dance-theater, OnlyFans, and celebrity crushes.

Over three decades, Richard Hawkins has developed a body of work that turns on the erotics of visibility, fueled by what he calls “a combination of historical research and boyish obsessions.”

Nwadiogbu draws on the Igbo Agbogho Mmuo, or maiden-spirit masquerade, a southeastern Nigerian tradition in which male performers embody idealized female spirits through mask, costume, dance, and elaborate adornment.

Looking closely, one object at a time.

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — a striking woodcut by Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer (c.1497–98). Dürer’s dramatic composition and meticulous engraving redefined printmaking and influenced generations of artists. See the masterpiece: buff.ly/LNhiu3t #ArtHistory

The dissecting knife and the paintbrush ask the same question: what holds this together when no one is looking?

Romany Belles by Laura Knight, 1938, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum (Scotland, UK)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Impressionism

Two young women, adorned in colorful, traditional attire, likely depicting the rich cultural heritage of the Romani people. The woman in the foreground holds a ball in her hand, suggesting a leisurely moment or perhaps participation in a game or activity. Their attire is vibrant, with vivid patterns and hues dominating the composition, reflecting Impressionist influences in its focus on light and color. The background showcases a bustling scene, possibly a fair or gathering, with tents and onlookers, hinting at a lively and celebratory environment. The artist’s brushwork and use of light enhance the immediacy of the moment, capturing the essence of the subjects with a sense of realism and intimacy.

Portrait of Gertrude Stein
Pablo Picasso, 1906

"I murmured to Picasso that I liked his portrait of Gertrude. Yes, he said, everybody says that she does not look like it but that does not make any difference, she will."

September's theme: Labor
ELIZABETH CATLETT (1915 - 2012), “Sharecropper”, 1952 & 1970. Art Institute of Chicago, IL.
Catlett was an artist who used her work to highlight the plight of African-American women while stressing their dignity, strength and resilience.
#arthistory #art #labor #Catlett

Catlett was a tireless art educator and artist who used her work to highlight the plight of African-American women while stressing their dignity, strength and resilience. “Sharecropper” is her most famous print. She produced this colored version of her original 1952 linocut print as a reprint in 1970. In “Sharecropper”, Catlett uses a low perspective, forcing the viewer to look up into the woman’s face to find her determination. The composition is made of patterns and textures: the large brimmed straw hat, the woman’s hair, the folds in her garment being held closed by a large safety pin, the busy background that mimics a field of grain, the lines giving hard-won character to the fieldworker’s face. Race, gender and social inequality were themes embraced by Catlett in her art and in her life. Her prints and sculptures grew increasingly political after she moved permanently to Mexico in 1947, where she became acquainted with the Mexican power artists (Rivera, Siqueiros, Kahlo and Francisco Mora, whom she married and with whom she raised a family). Catlett’s leftist activities drew the scorn of the American government; she became a Mexican citizen in 1962 and the US promptly barred her reentry to her birth country as an “undesirable alien”. It wasn’t until 1983 that she was allowed to return to the US.
