  1. Dagje Zwolle met (natuurlijk!) museum de Fundatie en de tentoonstelling Marianne von Werefkin - Pionier van het expressionisme. Prachtig! Stom en onterecht dat zoveel fantastische vrouwelijke kunstenaars niet net zo beroemd zijn als hun mannelijke tijdgenoten.

  2. "Autumn," Marianne von Werefkin, c. 1907.

    No, this isn't from the Madeline books by Ludwig Bemelmans, although it's certainly reminiscent. This is a few decades before that.

    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.

    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.

  7. 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, & that force taking form in the physical world, as barriers, shelters, torrents, winds, trees.

    The craving for protection and agency that the work of the mind, will & imagination could give her. Here it is again in ‘The Red Tree’.
