—

Marie Antoinette (Marie Antoinette Josèphe Jeanne; 2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was the last queen of France before the French Revolution.

She was born an archduchess of Austria. She was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.

She became Dauphine of France in May 1770 at age 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne.

On 10 May 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI and she became queen.

Between January 1938 and November 1939 Picasso painted fourteen portraits of Maya – the most important series Picasso devoted to one of his children, in which his joy as a father finds poignant expression in his joy as an artist.

She looks like both of them...

“In his portraits of Maya, Picasso reached for his most joyful, brightly coloured palette, and employed a combination of styles to elevate his daughter to the same level as his paintings of her mother, Marie-Thérèse – the artist’s greatest love, with whom we associate his most romantic pictures. There is a continued strong demand for paintings from the 1930s, and a work of this calibre is made even more remarkable for not having appeared on the market in almost a quarter of a century.”

Portrait of Marie Thérèse (c. 1775) by Joseph Duplessis

Marie Thérèse Louise of Savoy, Princesse de Lamballe, was a confidante of Queen Marie Antoinette. As one of Marie Antoinette's favorites and as the Superintendent of the Queen's Household, she held significant influence at court.

Maria Thérèse was described as proud and sensitive. Despite her ability to amuse the queen, she was introverted and often preferred solitary moments with Marie Antoinette over participating in high society. She struggled with health issues, experiencing "nerves, convulsions, fainting-fits," and reportedly could faint, remaining unconscious for hours.

She remained loyal to Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution, even though it ultimately cost her head. Maria Thérèse was killed and beheaded by the crowd during the September Massacre in 1792.

Matana Roberts — Coin Coin, Chapter Five: In the Garden (Constellation)

Photo by Anna Niedermeier

This is the fifth album of a projected 12 in Matana Roberts’s Coin Coin series, named after a slave, later activist, Marie Thérèse Coincoin. As with previous volumes, Coincoin’s biography intermingles with folk tales, slave stories and songs, and discussions of the rich, often tragic, history of African Americans. Another element of the Coin Coin series is the relationship between past and present. In this case, the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the present mirrors the story of an illegal and fatal abortion conducted on one of Roberts’s ancestors. In the notes, she says,"I wanted to talk about this issue, but in a way where she gets some sense of liberation.” Rather than being shamed, as so many women currently are in the wake of the SCOTUS decision, in the lyrics Robert’s relative is described as, “electric, alive, spirited, fire, and free.”

Roberts is a versatile artist, a saxophonist and composer who not only works in musical contexts but in theater, fine arts, and poetry. The spoken word portions of Coin, Coin Chapter Five are performed by Roberts and poet Gitnajali Jain. The balance of spoken word and music is well-conceived. The music itself is performed by a host of prominent musicians and produced by Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio). Roberts covers a number of instruments in addition to saxophone, Darius Jones plays alto saxophone, Matt Lavelle, clarinet and trumpet, Mazz Swift, violin, Stuart Bogie, clarinet and bass clarinet, and Mike Pride and Ryan Sawyer play drums and percussion. Pretty much all the performers play tin whistles and sing.

Free jazz is an important component of Robert’s music-making, and it is here in abundance on “Different Rings,” “Shake My Bones,”  and “Predestined Confessions.” The arrangements of these complex pieces are well wrought throughout. “A Caged Dance,” trades a gorgeous post-bop solo with dissonant interjections, providing a polystylistic framework. This is not unique to “A Caged Dance.” A number of pieces combine different idioms. Malone’s synthesizer and Pride and Sawyer’s rockist drumming move the piece outside the jazz tradition. The chorused vocals that sing rounds and the children’s folk song, “All the Pretty Horses,” create some of the most memorable music on the album.

The closing track, “Ain’t I … Your mystery is our history,” with its plethora of tin whistles and jangly percussion, recalls both avant-classical and African music. It is significant that Roberts returns to a bespoke instrumentation and non-Western sound world to send the piece home. Less than halfway through, the Coin Coin series is engaging and ever new. Seven more installments: one is eager to hear what is next.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, ) • Woman in a Red Armchair • 1931 • MoMA, New York City

In my opinion the style of this painting is both surrealism and cubism. There are paintings from this period that blur the distinction and I believe this one of them.

More importantly (to me anyway) are the symbols that identify, and history show, this portrait as that of Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso's young mistress. She was just seventeen when their affair commenced. Picasso painted this on Christmas day in 1931, when he was still married to and living with Olga Khokhlova. The smudged brushstrokes could possibly be a reflection of the tension Picasso was feeling between his marriage and his affair. The heart protruding from the neck signifies that Marie-thérèse is the woman he loves. The heart is a rare sentimental flourish in Picasso's oeuvre.

Four years later, Picasso and Olga separated. At that time the affair with Marie-Thérèse also ended. Despite having a daughter, Maya, together, Picasso left her for the artist Dora Maur. As was the case with Picasso, his interest in women waned and he moved on to his next conquest. In 1977, after Picasso's death, Marie-Thérèse killed herself.
