"The Garden Parasol," Frederick Carl Frieseke, c. 1910.

American-born Frieseke was a student of the Impressionists but eschewed their passion for landscapes and instead focused on his two main fascinations, light and women. His paintings have a remarkable technique, but are also quite male-gazey, if you get my drift.

But that parasol rocks.

From the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh.

"Relaxing in the Shade," Yamakawa Shuho, c. 1933.

A beautiful little painting; the unusual scalloped edge is a great way of indicating they are in an umbrella's shadow. The style is unmistakably Japanese but it depicts the growing influence of Western fashion in Japanese society.

From the Art Institute of Chicago.

"Summer Delight," Anders Zorn, 1886.

Anders Zorn was a noted Swedish painter, here depicting his wife on the pier and a friend approaching in a rowboat. The depth of detail is amazing when you realize this is done in watercolors, not oils. This shows influence of French Impressionism but mixes it with Scandinavian austerity for a unique style.

From a private collection.

"Beautiful Woman Reading a Book," Uemura Shōen, 1941.

Uemura was a woman in a very male-dominated profession in Japan, but she succeeded in painting women who were not merely beautiful & laid out for the viewers' delectation, but women with real souls & personalities going about daily activities. She didn't want to paint a woman who was just beautiful but who had other things going on.

From the Yamatane Museum, Tokyo.

@datacequia @connect_science You can also make concerted efforts to follow people- I got tired of finding only men in my feed and started following and boosting only women for some time; that took time to make a difference, but eventually my feed was populated by #womenInScience and #WomenInArt

"Katerina," Taras Shevchenko, 1840.

Shevchenko was an artist, poet, folklorist, and public/political figure in Ukraine. His works are considered the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and language. This painting shows a scene from his poem "Katerina," where the heroine, representing Ukraine, turns away from a deceitful, controlling lover, representing Russia. Prescient, eh?

From the Taras Shevchenko National Museum, Kyiv, Ukraine.

"Nordic Summer's Evening," Richard Bergh, 1899/1900.

I love how their bodies are turned toward each other, but they're both looking away....what's going on? The models are known; the woman is singer Karin Pyk, and the man is Prince Eugen of Sweden and Norway, although they were painted in at different times. Simultaneously restful and enigmatic, sadly overlooked.

From the Gothenburg Museum of Art, Sweden.

"Young Woman at her Toilet," Titian, c. 1515.

I could never quite get used to the idea of the term "toilet" being used to doing one's hair, but I guess that's due to me being a child of the modern age. This is a bit mysterious; what was the purpose? Some point to how he's showing her from multiple angles with the mirrors, but I notice that she's not noticing the man helping her or acknowledging him at all. Technical exercise, or commentary on class?

From the Louvre, Paris.

"Selbstbewusst schaut sie in die Kamera und sagt: „Mein Name ist Niki de Saint Phalle, und ich mache monumentale Skulpturen.“ Im nächsten Moment erscheint sie in weißem Anzug mit Gewehr in der Hand und lässt lautknallende Schüsse auf die ihr gegenüberliegende Leinwand los."

Neu im #Slider: Luisa Del Prete zeigt im Blog ➡ the ARTicle, dass Niki de Saint Phalle für mehr steht als für die charakteristischen Nana-Figuren:
