Bridget Riley Cataract 3 1967 Emulsion PVA on linen, British Council collection (221.9 X 222.9 cm) Through most of art history women artists have been largely ignored. It was only in the early 1970s that (female) academics, such as Linda Nolen (Why Have there been no Great Women Artists?) Sofonisba Anguissola was by no means the first woman painter but may have achieved public recognition beyond her predecessors. Her high status, from a noble family, prevented the belittling that other female artists suffered. When she was 23 she painted The Chess Game depicting members of her family; female chess players were frequently regarded with suspicion – their intellectual capacities being questioned and the opportunity for flirtation. Sofonisba benefited from her families wealth, Barbara Longhi from having an artist as a father. I believe she brought a special tenderness to her usual subject of Madonna anD ChilD. She was adept at using sfumato and the pyramidal structure in the Style of Leonardo. Lavinia Fontana also learnt her skills in her father’s (Prospero Fontana)studio and was well educated; fortunately, Bologna’s university accepted women. She could not attend the Carracci School because it emphasised the painting of nudes – which makes Minerva Dressing even more impressive. She had eleven children but worked continually as a prolific artist, helped by her husband who acted as her assistant. Minerva Dressing is on of her last pictures and demonstrates her skill at depicting clothes – for which she was renowned. Until recent years, Artemesia Gentileschi was ignored as an artist, unlike her father, Orazio. In Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia, the personification of ‘Painting’ is described as 'a beautiful woman, with full black hair, dishevelled, and twisted in various ways, with arched eyebrows that show imaginative thought, the mouth covered with a cloth tied behind her ears, with a chain of gold at her throat from which hangs a mask, and has written in front 'imitation''. Her image was much in demand by 17th Century collectors who recognised her ability. Rachel Ruysch’s father was a scientist, not an artist, and she may have learnt from him how to observe and record nature. Her paintings were deservedly popular with a distinguished clientele throughout her long life. While many such flower paintings included ‘vanitas’ elements, stressing the brevity of life, she seems to just have delighted in depicting the details of life. JuDith Leyster’s work was often attributed to Frans Hals. The usual convention of genre paintings of The Proposition type was to dress the woman provocatively and the exchange of money a mutually agreed transaction. So, a not unreasonable feminist interpretation of this painting is to see the respectable sewing woman as an ‘embarrassed victim’ (Hofrichter). Others claim this is as an honest attempt at courtship. Despite being a founding member of the Royal Academy and respected as a ‘history painter’, Angelica Kauffman had to endure being vilified as having an affair with Sir Joshua Reynolds. Her fellow academician Hone’s The Conjurer originally included a naked caricature of her naked in the top left hand corner. Elizabeth Vigee-Lebrun may be most famous for her portraits of Marie-Antoinette. The 1787 ofher with her daughter was criticised because it showed her open mouthed and showing her teeth, in contravention to tradition. Perhaps more surprisingly, Simone de Beauvoir criticised her as a narcissist in The Second Sex (1949) : ): "Madame Vigée-Lebrun never wearied of putting her smiling maternity on her canvases.” The attributions of The Portrait of Charlotte Du Val D'Ognes illustrates well how the work of women artists can be devalued. The Met bought the painting in 1922 believing it was by David. In 1951, this was found to be mistaken and it was attributed to Constance Charpentier. In 1996, this was changed to Marie-Denise Villers. What is disturbing is that critics seemed to notice more imperfections in the work after it was no longer considered to be by David. Emily Mary Osborn was an artist associated with the campaign for women’s right in the nineteenth century. Nameless anD FrienDless portrays the plight of a widow attempting to sell one of her paintings to a disdainful shop owner. The two leering men are looking at a picture of a ballet dancer two leering men look on, and a respectable matron leaves the shop. The roles of women in the Victorian urban environment are well illustrated. Rebecca Solomon also used genre paintings to critique Victorian attitudes to women and to class. She worked in the studio of John Everett Millais and later with Edward Burne-Jones. Along with other women she successfully petitioned the Royal Academy to admit women. Elizabeth LaDy Butler was already a known painter of military subjects before she married Major (later General) Butler in 1877. Being able to use her status to watch army manoeuvres assisted her art. Her pictures of heroism were immensely popular, at least one of which was bought by Queen Victoria. During the Great War the image of the charging Scots Greys was used by both the British and Germans as propaganda. Rosa Bonheur was also commercially successful in her own lifetime, probably the foremost animal painter of her era. Her staunch belief in women’s equality include wearing men’s clothing, necessitating the obtaining of a special permit. Ploughing in the Nivernais was her first major success and its ‘realism’ is reminiscent of the work of Corot and Courbet. Berthe Morisot exhibited for six years in the Salon from 1864 until she joined the rejected artists of Impressionism in 1874. She was married to Eugene Manet, the brother of her friend Edouard Manet. Her work often involved domestic scenes, a reflection of her class and gender of the time. She wanted to be thought of as her male colleagues: "I don't think there has ever been a man who treated a woman as an equal and that's all I would have asked for, for I know I'm worth as much as they." Maybe the quality of her work can be better recognised now than ever. Suzanne ValaDon was from a working class background and probably learnt her skills while acting as an artists’ models. In 1896 she married and affluent banker which allowed her to become a fulltime painter. After a divorce in 1913 she was able to marry her lover André Utter around the time she painted Casting the Net a huge painting depicting three near life size male nudes; a dramatic role reversal with the female artist becoming the voyeur. Evelyn Dunbar was a British artist, teacher and illustrator. She is notable for recording women’s contributions to the Home Front during World War II as the only woman working for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee. BriDget Riley was an early proponent of Op Art, but her earlier work was figurative in an impressionist style. She credits the work of Seurat in developing her optical style. From around 1960 on she developed the geometric black and white works for which she may be best known; the works induce sensations of movement or colour. She starting introducing colour from around 1967, and continued to develop new styles. © Patrick Imrie 2020 .

The influence of Japanese art is a phenomenon that is now called Japonisme , and it spread widely throughout Western art. It is quite hard to make a clear definition of Japonisme because of the breadth of the phenomenon, but it could be generally agreed that it is an attempt to understand and adapt the essential qualities of Japanese art. This thesis explores Japanese influences on British Art and will focus on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), the Australian Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938), and two artists from the group known as the Glasgow Boys, George Henry (1858-1934) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933).

  • Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lund Humphries and Getty Publications to collaborate on a groundbreaking new book series highlighting the careers and achievements of women artists LONDON AND LOS ANGELES—Lund Humphries and Getty Publications are pleased to announce the joint publication of the first volumes in the Illuminating Women Artists series. This series of beautifully illustrated books is the first to focus in a deliberate and sustained way on women artists throughout history, to recognize their accomplishments, to revive their name recognition, and to make their works better known to art enthusiasts of the 21st century. The Illuminating Women Artists series launches at a critical moment in our culture. It is a significant contribution to a movement underway—among scholars, museums, art dealers and collectors, and the wider world of cultural heritage—to re-assess the contributions of women artists. The first sub- series focuses on artists from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The initial volume in the series, by Catherine Hall-van den Elsen, presents the first overview in English of the life and work of Luisa Roldán (1652–1706), a prolific and celebrated sculptor of the Spanish Golden Age. The book, due for publication in September 2021, is replete with invaluable insights into Roldán’s technical innovations and artistic achievements, and it includes a list of all known extant works by the artist. It will be followed in February 2022 by a volume featuring the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–c.1654), who was recently celebrated in a solo exhibition at London’s National Gallery. Through the lens of cutting-edge scholarship, recent archival discoveries, and new painting attributions, author Sheila Barker offers an engaging overview of Gentileschi’s dramatic and exceptional life story, as well as her enterprising and original engagement with emerging feminist notions of the value and dignity of womanhood.

  • Angelica Kauffman Study Day (London, 16 Sep 20)
    Angelica Kauffman Study Day (London, 16 Sep 20) Royal Academy of Arts, London, Sep 16, 2020 Deadline: Apr 15, 2020 Marie Tavinor On the occasion of the retrospective dedicated to Angelica Kauffman taking place in Düsseldorf and London in 2020, the Royal Academy of Arts is organising a study day on the artist on Wednes- day 16 September 2020. A child prodigy and a respected painter famous all over Europe in her own lifetime, Angelica Kauff- man (1741-1807) transcended many boundaries and conventions linked to eighteenth century social norms. She embraced many facets of the Enlightenment beliefs, pursued a career to become a history painter following the neoclassical ideals and worked for some of the most prominent patrons of the time. She was also one of the two female founding members of the Roy- al Academy of Arts in London in 1768. At her death, her sculpted bust was placed next to Raphael’s in the Pantheon in Rome thereby underlining her place in the artistic canon. We welcome papers exploring the rich and versatile career of Angelica Kauffman with a fresh con- textualisation in the broader artistic, cultural, social and economic fabric of the eighteenth centu- ry. Topics should draw on Kauffman’s production and career and may include, but are not neces- sarily limited to: - Fashion and costume - The business of art (showroom, records, book-keeping and clientele) - Cosmopolitan networks - International career - Women patrons - Royal patrons - Women artists and their careers - Artistic/Intellectual friendships and their impact on creativity - Multiples (prints, designs for decorative arts) - Female self-portrait and self-representation - Display in C18th European Art Please send an abstract of 300 words and a short biography of 200 words to: Marie.Tavinor@roy- alacademy.org.uk and [email protected] Deadline to submit a proposal: 15 April 2020 We are sorry that we cannot offer any travel bursaries on this occasion.

After quite a few years, Carter gave up this career and devoted himself entirely to his painting. Carter’s early works were mostly of sea and coastal subjects in watercolors, but later he began to paint figures and use oil paints. Carter’s influences included Charles Napier Hemy, whose style and subjects he greatly admired. Many of Carter’s best works were painted in Scotland and the Shetland Isles. Carter exhibited in the Royal Academy for eleven years and for eighteen years at the New Watercolour Society, now known as the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. Carter’s watercolours were often extremely large, over six feet long. Landina Herring, Lands End, Cornwall is a watercolor that was painted on paperboard and heightened with white.

    30 THE JOURNAL OF THE Fig. 1. Simeon Solomon: Sketch for illustration of the Swinburne novel Lesbla Brandon. (Box 31, Folder 20, Janet Gamp Troxell Collection of Rossetti Manuscripts. Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, Princeton University Libraries.) RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES 31 SWINBURNE AT PRINCETON BY MARGARET M. SHERRY Dr. Sherry is Reference Librarian and Archivist at Princeton University In the 1860s Swinburne was as engaged in writing fiction as in producing material for his first published volume of poetry, Poems and Ballads. The manuscript of his novel Lesbia Brandon, however, never went into print during his lifetime because Watts-Dunton disapproved of its incestuous subtext.1 The opening pages of the novel, which was published only posthumously by Randolph Hughes in 1952, give a detailed description of two pairs of eyes, those of brother and sister. Their resemblance to one another is so uncanny as to make both seem sexually ambiguous, if not entirely androgynous: "Either smiled with the same lips and looked straight with the same clear eyes."2 The frontispiece to this article, Figure 1, a sketch by the artist Simeon Solomon, gives us some idea of what the idealized beauty of the characters in this novel was to be. The second illustration, Figure 2, shows the younger brother Herbert, recovering from a flogging, sitting with his sister who has turned to look at him from where she sits at the piano. Herbert's teacher Denham, it is explained in the narrative, enjoys flogging his teenage pupil to punish Herbert's sister indirectly for being sexually inaccessible to him — she is already a married woman.

  • On Gender and the Division of Artistic and Domestic Labour in Nineteenth
    The Artist’s Household: On Gender and the Division of Artistic and Domestic Labour in Nineteenth-Century London Lara Perry Contemporary art and art histories are currently having a productive reckoning with the material demands of domestic work and parenting, considered as both a stimulus and constraint to art production. Resonating with the concept of ‘immaterial labour’ that has become prominent in explorations of the structures of contemporary art, feminist artists and critics have exposed the important gendered dimension of the immaterial and socialreproduction labour involved in the career of the contemporary artist. Art projects such as CASCO’s long-term programme (2009-) User’s Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution and The Mother House project in London (2016) have picked up where Mierle Ukeles Laderman’s performance works of Maintenance Art in the 1960s and 1970s left off, and analysts have similarly refocused their efforts to include considerations of the gendered impact of parenthood on art production. For example, in her book Gender, ArtWork and the Global Imperative: A Materialist Feminist Critique (2013) Angela Dimitrakaki explored the impact of constant travel and around-the-clock schedule on women’s art careers; that this is more of an issue for mothers than for fathers was confirmed by a survey of Swedish artists made by Marita Flisbåck and Sofia Lindstrom (also published in 2013), which offered evidence that the careers of male artists benefit from a greater degree of freedom from the work of the household.1 All of this activity is associated with the investigation of contemporary rather than historical art practices.

  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.
