"Jazz Club" (1950) - Beauford Delaney (1901–1979)

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Delaney was first noticed by Enoch Lloyd Branson, a well-known Impressionist painter from the area. Delaney finished his first commissioned picture at the age of 14.

In 1923, he moved to Boston where he attended evening seminars at the Copley Society to study Classical art. Delaney participated in a Works Progress Administration-funded painting project at the Harlem Hospital. He then moved to Paris at a time when the American art scene was becoming internationally known.

Delaney’s work spanned many significant art movements of the twentieth century, yet is frequently neglected. He was surrounded by the vibrant intellectual and artistic scene of the Harlem Renaissance, and he shared interests with the emerging Abstract Expressionist movement. Delaney never committed fully to figuration or abstraction, and he alternated between the artistic community in Harlem and Greenwich Village, where he pushed abstraction in new directions. He made many artist friendships, despite struggling with mental illness and anxieties that were often exacerbated by the obstacles and vast inequities experienced by being a gay Black man.

"Bambatha" (2023) - Zanele Muholi

A large-scale bronze sculpture, Bambatha depicts a monstrous engulfment of the artist’s body, or rather their biologically determined “box” – a term the artist uses to refer to the space encompassing their breasts and va**na. In this sculpture,
Muholi’s figure appears trapped by malignant tubing that forms a strange, amorphous mass around them, a reference both to the artist’s struggle with fibroids and gender dysphoria. The piece is a poignant reminder of the somatic unease, anxiety and depression which results from incongruence with one’s body.

The sculpture portrays the agony and ecstasy of existing in a Black, Q***r, female body, and the powerful nature of Muholi’s traverse through the world as both an artist and activist.

With self-portraiture as its predominant mode, their work presents a personal reckoning with themes including sexual pleasure and freedom, inherited taboos around female genitalia and biological processes, gender-based violence and the resultant trauma, pain and loss, sexual rights and biomedical education. Bambatha was made for Muholi’s solo exhibition at Southern Guild Cape Town, which called for new rites of self-expression, sexuality, mothering and healing that usher in kinder modes of survival in our contemporary world.

"Autoportrait" - (1927) - Lucy Schwob - "Claude Cahun" (1894-1954)

Lucy was French writer, photographer, Surrealist, and performance artist who was largely written out of art history until the late 1980s, when her photographs were included in an exhibition of Surrealist photography in 1986. She is known for her self-portraits that portray her as ambiguously gendered.

Born into an affluent family her father, Maurice, owned and published a regional newspaper. When her mother was permanently institutionalized, Lucy was sent to live with her grandmother. In 1909 she returned home and met Suzanne Malherbe, who would eventually become not only her stepsister but also her lifelong companion and collaborator.

She assumed the name Claude and by shaving her head, as she did often in the late 1910s, Cahun actively and outwardly rejected social constructs of gender and sexual identity. In her self-portraits, she presented herself sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman, sometimes thoroughly androgynous, and sometimes heavily made-up and costumed. A notable series of self-portraits (1927–29) show her masquerading as a feminized male wearing lipstick, painted heart shapes on her cheeks, and a shirt with painted-on black ni***es that reads, “I am in training, don’t kiss me.” It is not entirely clear whether Moore was the photographer of Cahun’s “self-portraits” or had some other role in their production.

In 1932 Cahun met the founder of the Surrealists, Andre Breton and she began to align herself more closely with that movement.

During the N**i Party’s rise to power, Cahun and Moore fled Paris for Jersey. In 1940, the N**is invaded Jersey. Cahun and Moore had been creating anti-nationalist leaflets that mocked N**i ideology. The two women were discovered, imprisoned and sentenced to death for undermining N**i authority. They were saved when the island was liberated in 1945. Cahun and Moore remained in Jersey until Cahun died at age 60. Moore inherited her possessions and art, but Cahun’s legacy was nearly lost when Moore committed su***de in 1972 and all of Cahun’s work was auctioned off.

“The Two Fridas” (1939) - Frida Kahlo (1907–1954)

One of her most iconic self-portraits was “The two Fridas” (1939) which was completed shortly after her divorce with Diego Rivera. The painting depicts two versions of Frida sitting side by side and holding hands. Both Fridas have exposed hearts, symbolizing vulnerability and emotional pain. This painting was created to express and reflect her desperation and loneliness from the separation between her and Diego.

"Chasseresse" (1920) - Romaine Goddard Brooks (1874 -1970)

Brooks was an American painter who, in her gray-shaded portraits, penetrated and distilled her subjects’ personalities to an often disturbing degree.

Born to wealthy American parents, Beatrice Romaine Goddard had a very unhappy childhood. Her mother doted on a paranoid and mentally unstable son and treated Romaine viciously, with behavior ranging from neglect to accusations of demonic possession. When Goddard turned 21, she moved to Italy where she studied painting and set up a studio on the island of Capri. After the death her mother, Goddard became independently wealthy. In 1902 she entered into a short-lived marriage of convenience with John Ellingham Brooks.

In 1905 Romaine Brooks moved to Paris, where she established herself in literary, artistic as well as homosexual circles. In 1915 she met Natalie Clifford Barney, who was to be her lover for a great many years.

Brooks' painted mostly portraits that are unique as they are predominantly studies in gray with the occasional addition of a stroke of bright color, reflecting the influence of the palette of James McNeill Whistler. Her portraits were often so painfully honest that her sitters preferred not to have them exhibited.

Her career reached its height in 1925 with exhibitions in London, Paris, and New York City. From the 1930s onward, her work was largely forgotten. However, in 1971, a year after her death, the National Collection of Fine Arts (now the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American Art) staged an exhibition of her work. The exhibition rekindled interest in Brooks and led to several other exhibitions during the 1980s.

"Martin, A Terrier" (1879) - Rosa Bonheur (1822 - 1899)

Rosa Bonheur was a French painter and sculptor who was noted for the the remarkable accuracy and detail of her paintings featuring animals.

Rosa was trained by her father, Raymond, who was an art instructor. In 1836, following the death of her mother, Bonheur met Nathalie Micas, who became a lifelong companion.

Bonheur's talent for sketching live animals had manifested itself. She began studying animal motion and forms on farms, in stockyards, and at animal markets, horse fairs, and slaughterhouses, observing and sketching them and gaining an intimate knowledge of animal anatomy. At the Salon of 1841 she exhibited two paintings, Goats and Sheep and Rabbits. Her sketching visits to those public places that were largely the domain of men, as well as her work in the studio, prompted her by at least the early 1850s to change from traditional female clothing for the trousers and loose blouse of a male peasant. In 1852, She went to the police to obtain authorization to dress as she did. She would continued to dress in masculine attire for the rest of her life.

Bonheur also made a number of sketching trips to such regions as Auvergne and the Pyrenees, as well as to London, Birmingham, and Scotland. She exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1841 to 1855, winning exemption from jury approval in 1853. Her work rapidly gained popularity in the United States and Britain. One of her works, "The Horse Fair," was acquired in 1887 by Cornelius Vanderbilt for a record sum and became one of her most widely reproduced works; Vanderbilt donated the piece to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

For those who might be wondering why I chose this photo, I love dogs. How could I have possibly passed up this guy?

"Circus Parade" (1916) - J.C. Leyendecker (1874–1951)

Joseph Christian Leyendecker was a highly successful American commercial artist. Born in Montabaur, Germany, in 1874, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of eight and went on to become one of the most acclaimed illustrators of his time. Leyendecker was known for his attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a sense of idealized beauty.

Throughout his career, Leyendecker's work graced the pages of many popular magazines, including the Saturday Evening Post, Collier's Weekly, and Ladies' Home Journal. He was particularly known for his iconic advertising campaigns for Arrow Shirts and Kuppenheimer Clothes, and his illustrations became symbols of the American Dream, exuding elegance, glamour, and sophistication.

Leyendecker was also responsible for creating memorable images of the holiday season, including the illustrations for the popular Arrow Collar Man and Santa Claus advertising campaigns.

In addition to his work as an illustrator, Leyendecker was also a teacher. He served as a mentor to several aspiring artists, including Norman Rockwell.

"Banana" (1967) - Andy Warhol
This famous image that adorns The Velvet Underground & Nico's 1967 album; The Velvet Underground & Nico.
Through the years there has been an ongoing legal battle between the Andy Warhol Foundation and the band over licensing, usage, and ownership of the image. Now 39 years since his passing, old Any still manages to make the news. I think that he'd like that.
