"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

"Suffering should be creative.
Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

I tend to look for art in museums that is not done by men (or at least not by those with male-identifiable names, which is admittedly a flawed way to look). I am nearly always dissappointed in the lack of diversity, with so much more work by men than non-men.

I'm often able to spot art by non-men from afar, not because it is "typical women's art" (whatever that means) but because it has to be that much more spectaculaly better to make it on to the wall of a museam.

This tile artwork by Maria Keil, "Pastores" (Shepherds) is at the Museu Nacionaldo Azulejo in Lisbon. Walking through the museum, I came across this, which was easily the coolest piece in the gallery.

And that led me down the rabbit hole of wikipedia, where I learned more about this amazing person, who many among other things designed the tile for the Lisbon subway:

Three women translators who bridged cultures

Stories of Birgitte Thott, Sarah Austin, and Émilie du Châtelet

by Małgorzata Szynkielewska via @europeana (from the archives)

europeana.eu/en/stories/three-

Books by or translated by Émilie du Châtelet at PG:
gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?q

Birgitte Thott (1610–1662) used her remarkable linguistic abilities to bring foreign knowledge to her native Denmark.
Sarah Austin (1793–1867) was an English translator and editor who played a pivotal role in introducing British audiences to German authors. Sarah’s translations were linguistic accomplishments and also acts of cultural mediation, helping to bridge intellectual divides between Britain and continental Europe.
Émilie du Châtelet (1706–1749) was a French natural philosopher and mathematician.

"Portrait of Dora Wheeler," William Merritt Chase, 1882-3.

Chase (1849-1916) was one of the most notable American Impressionists. A renowned portraitist, he was also a versatile artist working in many media, including watercolor & engraving, & was also a prominent teacher. He was willing to accept female students at a time when that was unheard of, & Wheeler was one of his first.

Wheeler (1856-1940) was the daughter of Candace Wheeler (1827-1923) who is regarded as the mother of interior design, & one of America's first women designer of interiors & textiles, & a supporter of craftswomen & design reform. Dora studied art under Chase & then joined her mother's design firm. (Her father was a businessman who was very progressive & encouraged his wife & daughter in their careers.) Dora became known as a portraitist, muralist, textile designer & illustrator, although sadly her most prominent mural was destroyed in a fire & little of her textile work has survived. Still, he was a prominent women of the arts, & both she & her mother were respected designers and entrepeneurs.

From the Cleveland Museum of Art.

An American Impressionist portrait. Against a gold backdrop, a woman sits in a chair. She wears a blue gown with white lace at the cures and black fur trim. She had dark hair, seemingly tied up in a bun, and looks somewhat distractedly to the viewer's right. One hand rests on a chair arm, the other touches her face, giving her an air of anxiety. Beside her, on a small table, sits a large urn with a bouquet of daffodils that is almost lost in the gold backdrop.

American artist Lilla Cabot Perry died #OTD in 1933.

She worked in the American Impressionist style, rendering portraits and landscapes in the free form manner of her mentor, Claude Monet. Although it was not until the age of thirty-six that Perry received formal training, her work with artists of the Impressionist, Realist, Symbolist, and German Social Realist movements greatly affected the style of her oeuvre.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilla_Ca

Lilla Cabot Perry, 1913 - The Green Hat This is a striking portrait of a woman wearing a large black hat adorned with a green ribbon and gold embellishments. The subject is dressed in an elegant black fur-trimmed coat, with a white garment visible at the cuffs. Her expression is poised and slightly enigmatic, with soft lighting highlighting her delicate features and fair complexion.

This one is still one of my favorites. It’s from a picture I took early in de winter in a fog that made everything magical. I do love the atmosphere and colors.
