Female Artist and History

 

A new look at women from women artist.

 

Vigée Le Brun’s

Self Portrait in a Straw Hat

 

Some of the major art museums of the world are pledging

 to exhibit more works of art by women that were often over looked.

 

Artemisia Gentileschi

 The Conversion of the Magdalene

 

This new look at female artist will not only bring new names to the forefront it will also bring some fresh painting out that have not been displayed.

 

“The good news is that since female artists of the past are understudied, you always find additional works that have not been known.”

Eike Schmidt: Director of the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence

Walk In The Light

...walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

Gal 5:16

 

...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Gal 5:22

 

 

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,  envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Charleston SweetGrass

 

 

Spring is near. I can smell the sweet grass. Well...not really...I know it's still early. It's eighty degrees today in South Carolina. No one here is looking to see cold winds blow much any this year. The old famers always say plant after Easter to be sure your crops don't get killed by late frost. They however don't say anything about summer dresses, straw hats or early beach walks.

 

Enjoy the sunshine while you can.

Congratulations To A Great Artist

 

Viola Davis after she won the award for best supporting actress in "Fences."

 

 

Little did I know when my friends and I road our brand new banana seat bikes on a twenty minute ride from the small town of Orangeburg, SC to the even smaller town of St. Matthews, that some where I could possibly have bumped into a little girl that would one day win an Oscar. Everyone seems to have roots in the South.

Congratulations to

Ms. Viola Davis

2017 Oscar Winner

This award has to be exciting for her. Thanks for the great movies and legendary roles that you have put in history. Also thanks for bring up an old memory.
 

You Are A Strong Flower

A flower planted in soil with no fertilizer in it will not be as strong as one with a little....(manure) in it. We all have some manure in our lives it only makes us stronger when we push through and seek sunshine and water from above.
Enjoy life.
God's Love will wash all of that remaining fertilizer off .





An Autistic Artist Incredible Memory

 

 

 

British Artist

Stephen Wiltshire

Not only are the drawings incredible, they are all drawn from his seeing the subject and then using his memory to capture even the smallest of details. He has been awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

Dead Art Only Please

Andrea Rosen Closing Permanent Gallery Space,

Will No Longer Represent Living Artists

 

Currently in New York City's SoHo

“While it will take a new form,” she writes,

“I am one of those rare lucky people who

 loves and considers my work to be the vehicle

for growth and contribution.”

 

 

Dead artist only... No permanent building...OK... good luck with that growth.

Black History Month: Henry O Tanner

 

 Henry Ossawa Tanner

June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937

 

 

An American born artist with strong international recognition

 is CFLegette's pick for this years

 Black History Month
Saluted Artist.
 

His life works are religious in nature and a style

that uses light in a way that gives each piece movement and character.

 Even his self-portrait above keeps your eyes constantly searching for more.

I was first drawn into his world with The Banjo Lesson.

It is still the one I love the best however, his complete gallery will please just about anyone.

 

It will be worth the time to research his life and works.

Henry O Tanner was quite a world traveler and one of the world's best painters.
