Paula Butterfieldさんのイラストまとめ

@bquinnterest @artspanner @PenelopeWickson I've been thinking of your forthcoming book all day, and this thread is doing nothing to squelch my anticipation. Can't wait!

Butterflies, by Maria Sibylla Merian, artist and naturalist, born #OTD in 1647.

For #WomensHistoryDay, self-portraits of proud women painters through history: Frida Kahlo, Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, Alice Need, Rolinda Sharples. (More to come, through the day...)

Paula Modersohn-Becker, b. #OTD in 1876, was an important Modernist painter. In 1906 (the year that Picasso painted Les Desmoiselles), M-B painted the first nude self-portrait by a woman. Later came the first nude *pregnant* self-portrait.

For Berthe Morisot (b. #OTD in 1841), a portrait of her @ 18 by her sister, Edma (upper left); a self-portrait of Berthe @ work (lower left), "Reclining" by Manet (upper right); & Berthe w/her daughter Julie in her last years, by Renoir (lower right). #LaLuministe #Impressionism

Rococo artist Rosalba Carriera, born #OTD in 1673, excelled in pastel portraits like this Muse (1725). #VenetianArt #WomensArt

Marie Braquemond, born #OTD in 1840, was considered (along with Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt) one of Les Trois Grandes Dames of #Impressionism. I got in trouble with a museum guard when I almost walked into one of her nearly life sized outdoor scenes. Can you blame me?

"The house felt vacant without Mama. Laërtes sat with me during hours of mourning, silent except for an occasional shivering sigh." Julie lost her father at 14 and her mother at 16. She promoted the Impressionists' work for the rest of her life.

ICUMI, here are the images I've shared for #HispanicHeritageMonth: sculpture-Luisa Roldán, Spain; painting-Yolanda López, U.S.; architecture-Lina Bo Bardi, Brazil; & embroidery-Ana Teresa Barboza, Brazil. This year's theme: heritage & hope. #Esperanza

How can The Bluest Eye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hate You Give, and Speak be on the list of most challenged books when they should be required reading? #BannedBooksWeek2021
