Artesmisia Gentileschi (17th century Italian artist)
Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1652/1653), is a painter, and the daughter of well-known Roman artist, Orazio Gentileschi (1563-1639), and was one of the first women artists to achieve recognition in the male-dominated world of post-Renaissance art. In an era when female artists were limited to portrait painting and imitative poses, she was the first woman to paint major historical and religious scenarios.
Born in Rome in 1593, she received her early training from her father.
Edward Steichen: Lives in Photography
Last October when I was in Paris, I took time to visit the Jeu de Paume, which featured a major Edward Steichen (1879-1973) exhibition. The museum gathered 150 of his iconic portraits from Greta Garbo to Winston Churchill. Many of the photographs were taken in Steichen's capacity as chief photographer for "Vogue" and "Vanity Fair," in addition to photos that are a visual re-creation of "The Family of Man," his groundbreaking 1955 show at MoMA (NYC).
