The Signal by John William Godward

Though painted in 1899, this scene is meant to suggest antiquity. 

Yet, the theme is timeless: waiting to hear from a loved one. This moment is both still and full of tension; a moment of isolation, uncertainty, and hope.

This is a wonderful summary of Artemisia Gentileschi's impact on the art world of her time as well as the art world today, however the X-ray does not show Artemisia's own "original idea" for the painting Susanna and the Elders, but another artist's work - Kathleen Gilje - whose piece is titled Susanna and the Elders, Restored. 

For my undergrad Art History thesis, I wrote about Artemisia Gentileschi, her impact on the art world as both a Baroque and female painter, but also stressed the fact that she and her work should not be simply defined by her rape, and this is exactly what Gilje has done with her work again 400 years later. 

I could go on and on, but I just thought I'd give Kathleen Gilje the credit for the restored X-ray version, instead of attributing it to Artemisia Gentleschi.

And now Hillary Clinton will be taking your questions. Anything you want to ask the former First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and Smasher of Ceilings, now’s your chance. She’ll be providing answers live to Christiane Amanpour on CNN, on June 17th.

"Well that’s fun," you say. "But what distinguishes this Q&A from every other Q&A that has preceded it?" A brave question! Here is your answer: You can submit your questions in GIF form. Has anyone ever conducted an interview via GIF? Probably not! Go ahead and be the first. Plus, someone will probably make a GIF of Hillary Clinton answering your GIF. That’ll be a first, too. This is a big old pile of history happening right now.

The Twisted Trees of Slope Point, New Zealand

Slope Point is at the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. The air streams loop the ocean, unobstructed for 2000 miles, until they reach Slope Point causing incredibly strong winds. In fact, the winds are so strong and persistent here that they perpetually warp and twist the trees into these crooked, wind-swept shapes. 

Slope Point is generally uninhabited, except for the herds of sheep that graze the land. There are no roads leading here, however backpackers regularly make the short 20-minute walk to see the fascinating tree formations that only Mother Nature could create. However there is no public access during the lambing season from September to November.

Announcing ArtHistory.us

ArtHistory.us is a forthcoming open access art history journal that seeks to intersect the academic and public realm by providing a platform for the free interchange of ideas between people, regardless of where they are on their academic or professional journey.

The journal is founded on three core beliefs:

Everyone has something valuable to say about art and its history.

The digital age is transforming how the historical narrative of art is being told.

Research and ideas should be openly shared.

The journal is seeking submissions on any aspect of the history of art for its Summer 2014 release. A quarterly print edition of the journal comprised of content from the website chosen by the editor will be released in September 2014.

Submissions can be made by filling out the ArtHistory.us Submissions Form. Let’s narrate the story of art together through new perspectives and rich interpretations.
