Ambiguity informs all representational scenes that materialize from loose the artist’s production. Kardon thinks of the abstract brushstrokes.

Before encountering Beaux’s work, artist Mary Sauer had always pointed to John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) as her favorite painter, and Beaux’s exquisite brushwork could easily be mistaken for that of the prolific portrait painter. “I love Beaux’s loose style and the drama in her portraits,” Sauer says. “When I learned about her in college, I couldn’t believe she hadn’t received more credit for her work, compared to Sargent.

    American Women Artists Since the Vote

    American Women Artists Since the Vote Amendment XIX of the Constitution of the United States The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. his online exhibition presents works from the Museum’s collection by twenty- Tfive American women since 1920, the year of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. These selections represent every decade of the past century and a range of media, including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, and installation. The artists included here came from, lived in, and traveled to diverse regions of the United States and some even around the world, and they relate to a range of social and ethnic backgrounds and experiences. Their artworks indicate the engagement of American women in a variety of modes and styles of artmaking during this period, including their elevation of some practices that have been considered women’s work and, hence, less important than “fine” arts like painting and sculpture. This exhibition has a dual purpose: to celebrate the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment and to consider its ramifications for the American women it was intended to enfranchise. Certainly, it was a boon—agonizingly hard-won—for the women of this country finally to have the right to vote. However, the language of the amendment made the extension of the right to vote limited and allowed states, counties, and municipalities to continue inhibiting voting rights on other accounts, including age, ethnicity, literacy in English, and ability to pay poll taxes.

ANNE AYRES: The interview is with Rosamund Felsen, founder of the Rosamund Felsen Gallery. The interviewer is Anne Ayres. The interview takes place at Rosamund Felsen’s home in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles. The date is Sunday, October 10th, 2004. Rosamund, let’s not start at the beginning; let’s start now. I read recently that Duchamp commented, when attending his first-ever retrospective – which, as you know, happened at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1963 – that, quote, “Life begins at 70.” He said, “This show is fun. It gives me a wonderful feeling.” I’ve always had the feeling that you get a lot of fun out of life. You were born in 1934 in Pasadena.
