Buffie Johnson (1912 - 2006), who began showing her paintings in the 1930’s, continued to exhibit until the end of her life. In 2002, in honor of her 90th birthday, she was the subject of a one-woman show at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York. Last year, the gallery featured her work as part of its group exhibition “Betty Parsons and the Women.”

A woman of independent means, Ms. Johnson was by all accounts a woman of sociable temperament, and her life was intertwined with those of some of the 20th century’s leading artists, writers and performers. Over the years, she befriended, socialized with or otherwise brushed up against a cast of luminaries including Paul and Jane Bowles, Truman Capote, Willem de Kooning, Lawrence Durrell, Greta Garbo, Patricia Highsmith, Gene Krupa, Gypsy Rose Lee, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Gore Vidal and Andy Warhol.

In her work, Ms. Johnson was concerned with the intersection of spiritualism, myth and symbol. Deeply influenced by the psychiatrist Carl Jung, whom she also befriended, she wrote “Lady of the Beasts: Ancient Images of the Goddess and Her Sacred Animals,” published by Harper & Row in 1988.

Buffie Johnson was born in New York City on Feb. 20, 1912. After studying at the University of California, Los Angeles, she embarked for Europe, where she trained with the noted painters Francis Picabia and Stanley William Hayter. In 1943, she was included in an exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim’s New York gallery, Art of This Century, which featured the work of 31 women.

Ms. Johnson’s earliest works tended toward the Surrealist; then came more abstract canvases of intense color and pure form. In later years, she turned to huge realistic paintings of flowers and other plant forms, which were imbued with texture through their profuse, veiny detail.

Ms. Johnson sometimes figured in the work of her celebrated friends — she was photographed by Edward Weston, André Kertesz and Karl Bissinger — and they sometimes figured in hers. One of her best-known paintings from the 1940’s is a portrait of Tennessee Williams.

It was an association Ms. Johnson came to regret after she let Williams stay in her house. He used the good china when he wasn’t supposed to.

Staying AWARE

Can you name five women artists ?

…

Difficult, right ? Indeed, a vast majority of art exhibitions are of art made by men. Hopefully, nowadays we can see a real improvement. For example, just this year only there were exhibitions of Alice Neel, Rosa Bonheur, Schiaparelli, Frida Khalo and others. How and why did the art’s world opened its gates to women ? Mostly because of figures like the French art historian and curator Camille Morineau. Let’s talk about her project AWARE.

Camille Morineau was the curator of some feminist exhibitions in the last decade : elles@centrepompidou, Niki de St Phalle at the Grand Palais, WomanHouse at the Monnaie de Paris and the retrospective of Françoise Pétrovitch at Landerneau.

AWARE is a non-profit organization created in 2014. AWARE are the initial letters of Archives of Woman Artists Research and Exhibitions. The aim of the project is to make women artists of the 19th and 20th century visible. AWARE gathers a library, a publishing house and a website which is updated weekly. The free website is bilingual, in French and English. There are 850 biographies of women artists with their portraits and some artworks with meticulous captions.

The easy-to-understand website was designed by Lisa Sturacci and Frederic Teschner. The title type font is hollowed in order to create lightness and distinguish it from the content. The font has serif because it is an historical topic ; it gives elegance to the website. The text has a small line space, which creates a quick read. Lastly, good balance is made between texts and images.

This website is so precious for art historians as well as the mainstream public. Indeed, art history was written mostly by men, which leads to forgetfulness. For example, up until recently, art History considered that abstraction was invented and carried out by men like Mondiran, Kandinski and then Jackson Pollock. But women have largely contributed to it. In art History, the advent of abstraction coincides with the production of Untitled of Wassily Kandinky (1866-1944) in 1910. The work from Swedish painter Hilma Af Klint (1862-1944) was only rediscovered in 1986 during the exhibition The Spiritual in Art : Abstract Painting 1890-1985 at LACMA in Los Angeles, where she was presented as a pioneer of abstraction.

It is also difficult for women to be known independently from their husbands. For example, Sonia Delaunay remained in the shadow of her husband for a long time. AWARE redefines art History and makes women’s artworks visible and really accessible.
