March theme: When Life Gives You Lemons... WAYNE THIEBAUD (1920 – 2021), “Cut Meringues”, 1961. Museum of Modern Art, New York City US. #arthistory #art #Lemons #PopArt
MO Wayne Thiebaud was the G.O.A.T. at capturing the essence of delicious food products. His pies, cakes, ice creams, etc. are luscious and tempting: I can almost smell them! Best of all, zero calories. Thiebaud was a Californian, through and through, and his paintings capture the light and zeitgeist of 20th century living on the West Coast. Considered a Pop artist, Thiebaud’s subject matter is straightforward – like Warhol’s soup cans – but his handling of paint is not the usual Pop Art visual. Thiebaud used thickly applied paint to create painterly versions of delectable meringue pies in “Cut Meringues”. He used color – not quite black and not quite white – to create shadows and dimension and repetition to forge a geometric pattern that looks as good as it undoubtedly tastes. So maybe Thiebaud’s message to us is that when life gives you lemons, whip up some lemon meringue pies!

#ArtHistory 🗃️ In Paris, a young woman pauses from her work to look out the window—a symbol of transition. To convey her contemplative mood, the artist creates a contrast between her strong, rigid arm and the undulating, sagging outline of her back. Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, "The Laundress" (1889)
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, "The Laundress" (1889) • This painting depicts an auburn-haired woman in a white shirt and black skirt leaning over a laundry table, looking out the window. Her body language, not her face (which is seen in profile), conveys her introspective mood. • The artist used soft colors and gentle brushstrokes to create a surprisingly modern, intimate scene.

I am so thrilled to have been part of Emma Rutherford’s research team to reidentify this stunning portrait as Princess Mary, the future Queen Mary I. Displayed at Compton Verney, we argue that it was painted by Susannah Horenbout in c.1546 and is a rare example of her work. #Tudor #ArtHistory #MaryI
A newly identified portrait of Princess Mary, later Queen Mary I. Mary is wearing a black court gown with an embroidered, upturned collar. She has a black French hood, and a very distinctive cross set with five diamonds. Mary was gifted this cross in 1546 by her father, King Henry VII.

French painter Berthe Morisot died #OTD in 1895. Acclaimed Impressionist who captured light, intimacy & everyday life with breathtaking brushwork. Only woman to exhibit her work at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874) alongside Monet, Renoir, and Degas. #art #ArtHistory #Impressionism #WHM
Vintage black-and-white studio portrait photograph of a young Berthe Morisot in the late 1860s or early 1870s, posed elegantly beside an ornate carved Victorian chair with twisted spindles and dark velvet upholstery. She is a poised woman in her 20s or early 30s with dark curly hair styled in an upswept fashionable manner, wearing a long-sleeved dark satin or silk dress with button detailing and a full, sweeping skirt. She leans gracefully on the chair arm with both hands, gazing directly to her left with a serious, introspective expression. The opulent interior background features paneled walls, evoking her bourgeois Parisian upbringing and her emergence as a key figure in Impressionism.
Impressionist oil painting "Woman at Her Toilette" (1875–1880) by Berthe Morisot, showing a young woman viewed from behind as she sits at her dressing table, arranging her hair in front of a large mirror. She wears an off-the-shoulder white gown with blue ribbon accents, her bare back and shoulders softly rendered in luminous, loose brushstrokes of white, cream, pink, and pale blue. The vanity holds a glass perfume bottle, flowers, and toiletries; the background dissolves into a dreamy swirl of pastel floral wallpaper, light reflections, and airy colors. The composition captures intimate, everyday feminine ritual with fleeting light and vibrant, sketch-like Impressionist technique, emphasizing privacy, elegance, and modern womanhood.
