Un dessin sans explication qui a sa propre histoire… sans aucun doute. Il parle de personnes, de plumes et d’ange… avec toujours ce bleu qui les enveloppent…

🌃Que font, et sont, les lieux quand personne n’y est plus ?
✨La Solitude les enveloppent de ses camaïeu de bleu. Voilà ce que j’ai représenter le plus spontanément possible. 💫

Le Petit Chaperon Rouge a pris sa place dans mes cheminements dans une version revisitée.
Ici, la forêt peut sembler effrayante mais elle est une véritable barrière protectrice qui mettrait en garde l’enfant de ne pas y aller. J’avais envie de montrer une fillette rebelle qui devient menace face au loup. Une fillette qui a conscience qu’elle grandit et qui se retrouvera sans protection, parfois sans secours, autre qu’elle-même.
Résultat : elle y arrive, elle grandit.

🖍️Ce dessin revient de très loin, tâché, modifié, repris, effacé, puis taché de nouveau par maladresse à force de travailler plusieurs dessins en même temps. Résultat : faire avec cette tâche, l’exploiter et en rajouter même.

💫Et si de nos erreurs pouvait émerger quelques infimes beautés ?💫 qu’en pensez-vous ? ❓

By Leonora Carrington (1917-2011), The Temptation of St. Anthony, 1945, oil on canvas, 48 by 35 3/4 in. (122 by 91 cm), photo: Sotheby’s New York, 24 November 2014. #arthistory #womenartists #womanartist #painting #oilpainting

Excerpt from the catalogue note: ‘First recorded by Athanasius of Alexandria, the Temptation of St Anthony details the actions, teachings and many sufferings of Anthony the Great, an Egyptian, and one of the early Church Fathers. Inspired by a phrase in the Gospel of Matthew: "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven; and come, follow Me," the Tempation of St. Anthony became a popular legend in thirteenth-century Europe. Many of the more notable examples appear to deal with a passage in which Anthony, having recently left his parents and all of his worldly goods to pursue the life of a monk, descends into a cave where he is tempted by demons.’

My work goes back to anatomy quite often. In my personal life, I've been struggling with some hormone/health issues, which has me thinking about the female body. I have a few random pages of a medical book that was cannibalized for another project, and I decided to play with the imagery of the cervix. I started with a "virgin" depiction, as represented in the book. This was one of the most infuriating monotypes to make. I know now it's because the book (early 20th century I think) has it so *perfect*. It's round, plump, symmetrical, and demure. Which is not how I view my body as a maturing woman. Despite the frustration, I love my juicy messy encaustics for this work. #printmaking #encaustic #art #anatomy #atxart #womanartist #wip

Your art history post for today is actually illustration history: by Anne Estelle Rice (1877–1959), cover of The Saturday Evening Post, October 29, 1904, Halloween issue. #arthistory #illustrationhistory #illustration #womanartist #womenartists

From The Saturday Evening Post: “Anne Estelle Rice (1877–1959) was born in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and studied art at the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum as well as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She was an illustrator for the most popular magazines of the day, including Collier’s, Harper’s, and The Saturday Evening Post.

In the early 1900s, she spent time in Paris and turned to painting, where she created art in the post-impressionist, and then Fauvist, styles. Department store owner John Wannamaker commissioned her to paint seven murals for his flagship Philadelphia store, where they were displayed until the store was remodeled in the 1950s.

Rice married theater critic Raymond Dray in 1913. They lived in England where Rice became involved with designing theater costumes and sets. Rice painted three covers for The Saturday Evening Post.”
