Of course that's a silly claim since I have quite a number of paintings by female artists here, and since I judge paintings by whether they are good rather than whether they are made by men or women. Be that as it may, I did a little checking just to see if there were any female artists whose work I had overlooked and I found a few interesting paintings that were on my list of things waiting to be considered and so I decided to scan them and post them for all to see. Ordinarily, I dislike exhibitions of art organized by sex, race, or similar irrelevant characteristics, but in this case they just happened to come to my attention at about the same time because of these silly allegations, so here they are...<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EvelynDeMorgan-Earthbound-1897-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EvelynDeMorgan-Earthbound-1897-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Earthbound</I>, Evelyn DeMorgan, 1897</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/MariannePreindelsbergerStokes-MadonnaandChild-c1907-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/MariannePreindelsbergerStokes-MadonnaandChild-c1907-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Madonna and Child</I>, Marianne Preindelsberger Stokes, c1907</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EmmaSandys-LadyinaYellowDress-c1870-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EmmaSandys-LadyinaYellowDress-c1870-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Lady in a Yellow Dress</I>, Emma Sandys, c1870</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EleanorFortescueBrickdale-TheUninvitedGuest-1906-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/EleanorFortescueBrickdale-TheUninvitedGuest-1906-Small.jpg"><br /><I>The Uninvited Guest</I>, Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale, 1906</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/MarieSpartaliStillman-ConventLily-1891-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/MarieSpartaliStillman-ConventLily-1891-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Convent Lily</I>, Marie Spartali Stillman, 1891</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/VioletOakley-QuitaWoodward-1939-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/VioletOakley-QuitaWoodward-1939-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Quita Woodward</I>, Violet Oakley, 1939</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/JessieWilcoxSmith-MotherandChild-1908-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/JessieWilcoxSmith-MotherandChild-1908-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Mother and Child</I>, Jessie Wilcox Smith, 1908</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/JessieWilcoxSmith-TheLandofCounterpane-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/JessieWilcoxSmith-TheLandofCounterpane-Small.jpg"><br /><I>The Land of Counterpane</I>, Jessie Wilcox Smith</A> false Brian Yoder 2006-03-08T18:47:00-08:00 2006-05-09T08:25:20Z 2006-03-09T02:54:55Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106305.post-114187289570775804 Art Teacher Suspended for Recommending Figure Drawing In December Middletown, New York art teacher Pete Panse was suspended for recommending that some of his advanced students take a figure drawing class that included nude models, on the grounds that mentioning such a thing constituted a potentially sexually unfomfortable situation for some students or their parents. Since January I have been assisting Mr. Panse in his efforts to fight this procedure and we are making good headway so far.

There was a particularly impressive one called <i>A Wooded River Landscape, Deer Grazing in the Distance</i> at the Sotheby's auction tht was similar to this, but which was impossible for me to scan because of how it was printed in the catalog (it spanned the spine of the book). He was definitely an under-appreciated genius!<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/AlexeiAlexejewitschHarlamoff-PortraitofaYoungBeauty-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/AlexeiAlexejewitschHarlamoff-PortraitofaYoungBeauty-Small.jpg"><br /><I>Portrait of a Young Beauty</I>, Alexei Alejewitch Harlamoff</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/LuisRicardsFalero-AFairyUnderStarrySkies-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/LuisRicardsFalero-AFairyUnderStarrySkies-Small.jpg"><br /><I>A Fairy Under Starry Skies</I>, Luis Ricardo Falero</A><br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.goodart.org/blog/TheodoreChaisseriau-TheAngel-c1840-Large.jpg" TARGET="GoodArt"><IMG SRC="http://www.goodart.org/blog/TheodoreChaisseriau-TheAngel-c1840-Small.jpg"><br /><I>The Angel</I>, Theodore Chaisseriau, c1840</A> false Brian Yoder 2005-11-06T21:22:00-08:00 2005-12-30T21:46:11Z 2005-11-07T05:43:24Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106305.post-113134220492942345 Sotheby's Auction A few weeks ago several Art Renewal Center people met in New York to view some 19th century paintings being auctioned off later that week.

They are quite a contrast in style from his more famous work.
