ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM 🎨 love, ur local art mom 🩵

disclaimers and more information under the cut ✂️

hi I’m annemarie and I’m an art historian! not adjuncting for the first time in five years was rly hard for me so I threw some slides together so I could still (sort of) teach the same material as my language of art class but a) I threw these slides together for instagram so space was/is limited and b) language of art is a ten week run through art history so I’m presenting only the most accessible information here – there’s so much more to this art period and to these artists! – please don’t expect it to be comprehensive and please do ask if you have any questions!

oh p.s. my first ever class of art history students came up with the name ‘art mom’ for me at the end of the quarter and yes it does make me cry if I think about it too long thanks so much for asking

Decorative Sunday

Here are some architectural designs from The City and Country Builder’s and Workman’s Treasury of Designs by English garden designer Batty Langley (1696-1751), printed for and sold by Samuel Harding in London in 1745. The designs are for floors, ceilings, cabinets, and frames engraved in copper by Langley's brother Thomas Langley (1702-1751) after Batty Langley's drawings. Our copy is the 3rd edition, with the first printed by Jacob Ilive for Batty Langley in 1740. It would continue to be published through multiple editions to 1777.

From Davis Ray: It took me 55 years to make this quilt! At 10 years old, in 1968, I told my mom I wanted to make a quilt for my bed. She gave me fabric and suggested I trace a postcard. Smart woman…I wouldn’t have to match corners! Well, time flies and here I am in 2023, aged 65. I retired and finally finished it. Mom is 99 years old and I am thrilled to have a photo of both of us with the quilt. I hand sewed a pocket on the back to hold the postcard, photos and the story of this quilt.

The almost zany mix of checked and striped fabrics in the master bedroom hangs together because all the fabrics repeat shades of blue and blue-green. The parrot-green wall color also has enough blue in it to serve as a harmonizing force to the overall decor.
