Thomas & Marie Oakey Dewing - Hymen (1884-86)

strolling through the rose garden while plotting a coup

you should be dead. no, really. you remember dying. so you’re really not sure how you ended up here—an unrealistically hygienic medieval noblewoman embroiled in complex and embarrassingly petty court intrigues. you draw a rose towards your face and inhale the heady scent. were people really so bored without the internet that they had to make up such lethally dramatic games just to keep themselves entertained? what ever happened to elaborate hairstyles and sheep husbandry? you could’ve sworn you remember reading something about that.

and yet when you did wake up in this reality, you were informed by an ominous omniscient and disembodied voice that the only way to return to your life, you must win the game of royal musical chairs. so maybe you’re just in a coma actually and this is your elaborate coma dream? who knows.

but what you can be sure of is that you do not have the patience for all the simpering and subtlety. if you’re going to win this game and go back to your life, you’re going to need a show of force.

Come John Twachtman, Thomas e Maria Oakey Dewing, William Merritt Chase, insieme ad altri pittori, tra cui Theodore Robinson, Mary Cassatt, Robert Reid, Maurice Prendergast e Daniel Garber, anche Childe Hassam sperimenta composizioni caratterizzate da pennellate veloci…
