Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Autumn," Marianne von Werefkin, c. 1907.</p><p>No, this isn't from the Madeline books by Ludwig Bemelmans, although it's certainly reminiscent. This is a few decades before that.</p><p>Russian-born von Werefkin (1860-1938) was a noted Expressionist painter who moved around a bit. She was from a noble Russian family, moved to Munich to immerse herself in the artistic and Expressionist scene (living on a pension from the Tsarist government), and fled to Switzerland at the outbreak of WWI, and experienced hardships after the October Revolution ended her pension and made her a stateless person. She passed away in the city of Ascona, where she is still a popular figure.</p><p>Here we have a scene of schoolgirls walking across a park as the sun sets. While cute on the surface, the paired-off students are all separate, and nobody seems to be talking or even looking at the other. Werefkin had a knack for depicting modern alienation, and despite her elite Tsarist background, would depict the common working man with dignity.</p><p>From the Museo Comunale d'Arte Moderna, Ascona, Italy.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Expressionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Expressionism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MarianneVonWerefkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarianneVonWerefkin</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a></p>
Matt Potter<p>In that painting, ‘Storm’ (1907), you can feel the figures resisting, in a Blakean way. Pushing against the forms that threaten, together. Their will becoming a force, &amp; that force taking form in the physical world, as barriers, shelters, torrents, winds, trees. </p><p>The craving for protection and agency that the work of the mind, will &amp; imagination could give her. Here it is again in ‘The Red Tree’.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/mariannevonwerefkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mariannevonwerefkin</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/expressionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expressionism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/tatemodern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tatemodern</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/expressionistart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expressionistart</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/artist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artist</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WilliamBlake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamBlake</span></a></p>
