  6. "Flowers in a Vase," Mary Moser, 1765.

    Moser (1744-1819) was a British painter, perhaps the most celebrated woman painter of her time.

    Born in London, the daughter of a Swiss goldsmith, Moser won awards for her floral paintings as young at 14. She explored portraits and history paintings, but florals were her great strength.

    At 25, she joined 35 other artists, including her father, to form the Royal Academy. She and portraitist Angelica Kauffman were the only two women, and it wasn't until 1936 that another woman was allowed membership. (Boo, sexism!) But Moser thrived, helped by the patronage of Queen Charlotte, wife of George III.

    Moser retired as a professional artist at 53, marrying a Capt. Lloyd, but continued to paint and exhibit as an amateur under her married name. She also generated a bit of scandal with her open affair with another artist, Richard Cosway.

    Even today she is respected as a bold floral artist, and for her role in founding the Royal Academy.

    Happy Flower Friday!

  7. Visiting the #RoyalAcademy this morning, I discovered for the first time (to my shame) the copy there of #Leonardo's #LastSupper - royalacademy.org.uk/art-artist it's not only v early, it's nearly complete (only top bit is missing). Just amazing, and much better than the sadly degraded original now... #art

    Must watch ❣️ :

    👇🏼
    'ROYAL ACADEMY' (2004) - 'A talented elderly artist tries to get her painting accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London.

    The documentary was screened at 26 film festivals worldwide and was broadcast multiple times on PBS. It won Best Documentary at several festivals and won 2 Emmy Awards.'

  11. Reading 'The Demon of Progress In The Arts' by Wyndham Lewis.

    In the first few chapters a modern reader might mistake it for satire (see pics).

    Yet, his views are very serious and many current artists would echo his stance with regard to modern gatekeepers such as Arts Council England.

    He fights against 'empty' contemporary art, and, though subjective, his points remain valid.

    Better than expected.

  13. Adored the William Kentridge show at the #RoyalAcademy in London today - so lucky to have caught it before it closes. Breathtaking in scale and wholly absorbing - what a triumph of skill and significance. Could have spent many more hours taking it all in. #ContemporaryArt #Apartheid #Colonialism #Migration
