I am so happy you are educating us – I wish I heard of her sooner but channels like this is magnificent
I just hung my “art quilts” at a show. First comment I received was “wow, you know how to sew?” Because I am a cis male. Hard eye roll.
my art professor from high school is representing my country this year! i was there for the one back in 2022 but i can't go this year, sadly… im sure lauryn will have a lot of fun there!
As my self-styled art curriculum has taken me to hours and hours of videos about artists, art movements and the like on YT, channels like Perspectives, and Dr. Travis Lee Clark (using the text, Gardener's Art Through the Ages, among many other gems, including your channel).
In that journey, I read or heard someone state that they didn't like or were not impressed by Picasso. Leaving competition, envy and jealousy aside, the reason for their reaction to the great Picasso was that they found his art, particularly that toward the end of his life, was to them childish, immature. I'm paraphrasing, but I've looked back at everything but Gernica which is a major piece of history of the 20th century. And, I wouldn't judge because Picasso evidenced artistic genius as a child, and I am an art student. However, I do have a lot of urbane qualities which include my lifelong love for da Vinci's drawings, Orozco and Diego Rivera, and of course all the Catholic Church cathedrals and the abandanza of the Mass, statuary and all — lss, Boticcelli is my fav Renaissance artist for Venus in Paradise at the Uffizzi… Ecstacy!
BTW: There's a NYC Art Fair next month, TEFAF, 5/10 – 5/14/24 st The Park Avenue Armory, at 643 Park Ave. 10065.
I found this at The Art Newspaper site.
I would love to read a comparative study of her painting and Picasso's Guernica
The quilts that came out of the Gee's Bend community in Alabama have been called some of the best examples of Modern Art in the 20th Century
That was a great article in NPR. I like your idea about Art museums santioning a wall for lesser known artists (equivalent to an open mike night).
Oh my goodness, love the email sleuthing. Hope we see more Art World News.
It seems odd that she wasn't more well known. Elementary Art teachers know very well who she is and have for decades! Her book, Tar Beach, is almost universally read in elementary art rooms and many teachers do projects based on it. Rest in peace Faith!
