Artist Research #7: Alec Soth
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Introduction/Background: 
Alec Soth is an American photographer born in 1969 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Throughout his career as a photographer, he has published over 25 books and done over 50 solo exhibitions. Growing up he was known to be very shy during school, but nevertheless he successfully studied and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College In New York. His photographic style is documentation and with this style he is concerned with “mythologies and oddities that proliferate America’s disconnected communities' ' (Magnum, profile). His projects tend to feature the midwest in America in a large scale format. Soth’s view of photography is very unique with his work being compared to works of literature, but Soth believes photography to be more fragmented; “It’s more like poetry than writing a novel” (Magnum, profile). 
Notable works: 
Alec Soth’s Sleeping by the Mississippi is one of his most defining photo book publications. Published in 2004, this was Soth’s first book and established him as one of the leading figures of photographic practice. This photo book depicts a series of road trips along the Mississippi river. To show these road trips, he photographs a mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors that all convey the mood of loneliness and longing. Sloth merges a “documentary style with poetic sensibility” (Mackbooks). He first began to get the idea for this project when he began to get influenced through seeing the tradition of road trip photography. He decided to make this his own tradition and started following the Mississippi river in the car. He used the river as a way to connect with the people he photographed along the way. His strategy was to stop his car as soon as someone or something caught his eye, although this didn’t go exactly as planned since the photos he ended up taking weren’t what he envisioned. He eventually was able to capture what he wanted when he met the people along the Mississippi and they let him into their homes.
Awards/Nominations: 
Alec Soth has won many awards in his life so far. A few of these awards include the following: 
1999: McKnight Foundation Photography Fellowship, Minneapolis, MN.
2001: Travel and Study Grant, Jerome Foundation, for Sleeping by the Mississippi.
2003: Santa Fe Prize for Photography.
2004: McKnight Foundation Photography Fellowship, Minneapolis, MN.
2006: Finalist, Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. A £3000 prize.
2008: Bush Fellowship, Bush Foundation, Saint Paul, MN. A $50000 grant.
2013: McKnight Foundation Photography Fellowship, Minneapolis, MN.
2021: Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, Bristol
Personal thoughts: 
From researching Alec Soth and his work, I feel like his process of taking pictures is similar to mine, especially with how he took the photos for his project Sleeping by the Mississippi. Oftentimes I don’t have a set plan for how my pictures are going to look or even what pictures I will be taking at all. I did this for the scavenger hunt assignment, which I walked around Fresno State as well as my house looking for anything that stood out to me. I take a lot of comfort in the way he does this and even the fact that he almost didn’t stick with photography comforted me in a way as well. This gives me hope that even if I’m discouraged about how my photos look now, I know that if I keep on going I can accomplish everything I want to achieve.

Venetian Writing Desk .. [2 / 2]
Exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN.
Writing desk, c. 1760 Wood, paint, gilt, gilt bronze This exuberantly carved, painted, and gilded writing desk illustrates the vitality and luxury of 18th-century Venetian interiors. Although Venice was declining as a naval power and commercial port, its nobility and bourgeoisie continued to spend lavishly on their homes. Like the furniture that enhanced these dwellings, this desk possesses a bold design, vigorous carving, and brilliantly lacquered flowers and figures. This object serves both as a writing desk, opening at the top in three different places, and as a chest of drawers, hidden behind a large cupboard door. When closed, these various doors, with their gilded bronze hinges, disguise the function of the desk.

Chance and Choice BTS
Behind the scenes stuff! I have A LOT of notes about the making of Chance and Choice from unreleased Beta to the latest chapter! Please enjoy the notes that simply cannot keep to myself anymore.
Pre CC (Runner-up):
Originally originally, the very first almost beta version of CC was just going to be Jack's origin story lol. Like straight up in chronological order, a series of events spanning his entire life as a closer look into his fall from grace. Really heavy handed on the psychology aspects of how his mind works (because I love nothing more than psychoanalyzing people/characters)
I had a whole idea about if i ever dropped this fic that the accompanying art would just be Jack himself promoting the story as if it was his own autobiography. Celebrity biopic release vibes. Buy my book!
This rough beta version was called Runner-up. And I got all the outlining done when I realized that by the end of the story Jack still would’ve been a villain (and in banishment) and I ended up thinking that the aftermath of his banishment with Lucy would've been a more attention-grabbing story.
As much as I enjoy hurting this man, I also want to see him heal, so Runner-up was promptly scrapped (but somewhat currently still used as a rough guide for any of Jack’s inner machinations/past experiences)
In the tail end of planning Runner-up, when Killian was starting to come more into his own and not just a background character, apparently, I wrote it down that him and Jack were only supposed to have romantic tension and for their official relationship to start way later after he’s already reformed. 
I think the idea was to have them just hate flirting with each-other while the whole story goes on around them? But you can also do that AND be bitter exes at the same time. Very glad I changed this little bit.
A concept that also did not survive the Runner-up days was the idea of Jack having some kind of Ice based healing powers! Most akin to the water bender healers from Avatar. 
He would've had this whole thing about swearing off using the healing powers for whatever reason and ends up burying the lead that he ever had them in the first place. Until a situation comes up where he’s forced to use them in front of people, unearthing the secret. This idea was cool, but then I reworked the whole magic system so this idea had to go.
Chapter 4:
Fun Fact! This meeting where Jack and Mother Nature actually talk for the first time since banishment will be the last time they directly speak to one another until the very finale. They will be going another two weeks without talking before reconciling at New Years.
I've had the idea for the Bypass for a while, but the way it looks is closest to The Great Exhibition hall of 1851. Just way bigger and with portal arches and FIVE MORE FLOORS. This place is HUGE you guys it's like a whole town in of itself.
I wanted the teleporters to accommodate a full-sized dragon because as a species they would be very limited in available airspace without getting spotted by humans. So, to quick travel they mostly use the teleporters.
I am going to be very honest with you guys. I really did only give Jack a journal of sorts so that I could maybe spin that off into The Misadventures of Exile kinda thing. Because nothing really physically happens to him (besides the polar bear) but he goes through a lot of mental wear and tear, and I thought I should give myself a little window into his head for possible future use. 
Tumblr media
Chapter 5:
The flashback scene with MN and Jacks fight, these exchanges:
“When all the realms turned against me, what did you do? Nothing!”
“You were not meant to have a holiday that is not my fault!”
“Not your FAULT!?”
Is directly taken from Kung Fu Panda, the first movie where shifu and tai lung recount their falling out as they fight. Tai Lung (and his and shifu’s dynamic) is so interestingly complex and served as a HUGE inspiration for Jack’s character and his relationship with MN.
ANOTHER line that I kinda ripped off was this remark from Jack:
“How could you possibly bring me lower than this? What more can you take away from me?!”
That one I got from The Incredibles when Bob threatens Mirage when he thinks his family is dead :)
A line that I also really REALLY wanted to include but didn't was from Steven Universe. Where Amethyst and Pearl are fighting in the kindergarten and amethyst says:
“I never asked for it to be this way! I never asked to be made!”
I wanted to give that line to Jack as he was fighting MN SO BAD! But I just couldn't find anywhere to fit it.
Originally Jack’s visceral injury would have been a single very sharp root straight through the shoulder. Literally clean through him; just one major puncture wound. But I ultimately thought that was lacking something, so i ended up changing it to something way more violent.
That whole fight scene I’ve had in the chamber for A WHILE, before most of the plot of CC was ironed out. And like I’ve said before, legendary fisticuffs are COOL AS SHIT so I have a lot to say about that passage in particular.
Chapter 6:
I had three separate ideas for Jack’s beginning nightmare sequence for this chapter (mostly because i’ve really liked coming up with very metaphorical and emotionally poignant scenarios for Jack to be in (psychoanalyzing yet again) ).
The final one of the following voices was my personal favorite and was planned to be put somewhere far later in the story, but i ultimately decided to treat myself and write in prose about Jack’s internal struggle :)
The other two nightmares I think I will keep mostly a secret if I ever choose to use those for future sequences. But! The other two (in the vaguest of terms) are
Mother Nature Lapis Lazuli inspo
Playing very weird chess and loosing horribly.
The main note that I’ve had for this, and the next few following chapters is just: EMOTIONAL LABOR! And that’s literally it lol. Thats the only note I need for this next stretch of the story lol.
Fun Fact! The weight of Lucy’s staff is actually different depending on the personal harmony of the one who’s holding it! It always maintains a level of heaviness that Lucy doesn't experience, but depending on someone’s inner balance the staff will be lighter or heavier depending on who’s holding it. Charlie has little difficulty holding for its weight in Chapter 5, because he has little to no internal struggle. He’s very confident in who he is and where he’s going in life and all that jazz. 
Whereas Jack in this Chapter, is nearly taken down by the thing because he is all kinds of out of whack internally. Banishment has been nothing but one big internal seven-year struggle and it shows in the weight of the staff. He’s way-out synch and therefore the staff is way heavier than it should be.
Chapter 7:
I had to rewrite the beginnings of this chapter a fair few times with how exactly Lucy finds out more about Frostmas as a thing.
One of the times she would've found herself in the hall of timelines to learn about Frostmas that way. It was a huge room of clouds and different clock faces representing all the major alternate universes. I had a whole convoluted way the books updated themselves by pulling straight from the clocks to double check the series of events that have technically never happened.
But this was WAY too complicated of an idea to execute without having it feel overly clunky. So, it must be scrapped.
AND I KNEW that THIS was the most opportune time to name drop everyone else’s amazing work! As mostly a treat to myself, but I had it penned down to AT LEAST mention CS here. Because I was dying to do that at some point and NOWS THE TIME! THERE YA GO BITCHES! Technically canon? But actually, not really.
Killian and Chimera’s intro was A BITCH AND A HALF to nail down. I went back and forth on the logistics of this scene a lot. Where it was gonna fit in the story and if I'm introducing this new character/element too early or too late. This one was a thinker.
BUT THEN I remembered that there's an actually seven-year-old at the north pole that he could scare! Keep it closer to the main cast and switch it to full nighttime hours at the end of the day and BOOM! He’s here! In the story! Jack and Luce are gonna run into him later for the confrontation OF A LIFETIME. Very hype about that
For Killian’s intro I had an idea for Chimera to call him on the crystal ball, but he accidently left the sound on so it flashes colors AND Toxic by Brittney Spears would start playing very loudly in the middle of the night. This was really funny to me, but ultimately undermined the whole buildup of him being scary and threatening so I had to scrap it.
Misc:
Whenever I get to the redlining stage in the editing process, I try and do it physically as often as I can. I literally print out all the pages, staple them together, get a red pen and go to town! Usually with a lined sticky note as well for when a passage really needs to be deconstructed. I do this because it gives my eyes a break from staring at a screen and helps me spot mistakes easier. I keep them all in a little accordion folder and save them as sweet little mementos :)
(I don't do this for any of the snowdrifts because those are relatively low stakes, but I did do it for Solstice just because it directly ties into CC in a somewhat more important way.)
A couple of key inspo’s for Jacks character in exile (as I imagine him anyway) were Tai Lung (as previously stated), Loki and a touch of Bojack Horseman. I rationalize any out of character things he does with “Oh but he’s in exile, he’s been banished for seven years now, I think he’s bound to act just a little different.”
Some of the names that were in the rotation between Runner-up and CC include:
Polar Opposites
Vice Versa
Hope and Heartless
Flip Side

—————————————————–
Incorporating painting into my photography and using special transfer techniques I give them the look of a colorized daguerreotype.
Adding a single color to the entire image, the color then becomes as important as the image. I’m mostly draw to French Baroque and 19 century American landscape painting. The vibrancy of the colors and the plexiglass presentation gives this series a contemporary sleek and plastic feel…Combining the old with new I reinterpret classical imagery into a modern, original and enigmatic aesthetic.

- BIOGRAPHY WRITTEN BY RICHARD VINE -
Emmanuelle Gauthier Born in 1971, Emmanuelle Gauthier is a French fine arts photographer who has lived and worked in New York since 1994. She studied photography at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as well as film structure and production techniques at the Université de Paris VIII. Her training also includes history of photography classes with George Pitts, the photo editor of Vibe magazine. Thereafter, working on independent productions, she assisted director Eric Ceret on his documentary Diaries and director Mark Humphrey on numerous music videos.
As a freelance photographer,Emmanuelle Gauthier has contributed to numerous publications such as
Citizen k, Spoon, Trace, Zing, The Fadder, Trax,Madame Figaro, Dazed & Confused, and Pure.
Among her commissions are ad campaigns for Audemars Piguet,Fred Sathal, and Totem. Emmanuelle Gauthier’s images–of airports, clubs, city streets, and glamorous youths–often imbue their
subjects with a dreamy allure. Her figures smoke and drink in louche surroundings; some pose with clothes laid on top of their bodies rather than worn normally. All seem too hip for love or grief. Yet their bohemian chic is inseparable from a pervading sense of desolation–as if the emptiness of the jetways had entered every aspect of life for these young urban nomads. Most recently, Emmanuelle Gauthier completed a compilation video of interviews with several New York-based artists with whom she has an aesthetic affinity: Andres Serrano, Dennis Oppenheim, Scott Hug,and others. Here scenes from the urban environment, including the living and working spaces of the artists, are punctuated by shots of a sleek building lobby and highly reflective revolving door*emblems, in effect, of the hardness, gloss, and transitoriness of life in New York*s often impersonal milieu. Emmanuelle Gauthier has previously exhibited in New York City at Marcus Ritter Gallery, Nikolai Fine Art Gallery, Egizio’s project, Cynthia Broan galleries. And in Hong Kong at the Institute of Matter gallery.
Richard Vine
Editor at large at Art in America
REMY TOLEDO Gallery/ Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of three young artists “Candy for Dinner”
Emmanuelle Gauthier, Vadis Turner, and Hu Ren Yi.
This dinner party has been cooked in America , China and France . French photographer Emmanuelle Gauthier presents a different kind of candy, one of sweet seduction. In her latest series Plastic Baroque, techniques of digital manipulation create a refined and glamorous body of work. Layering lush imagery from European and American painting, Gauthier creates contemporary photographs of intricate beauty. Her composition is simultaneously dense and fluid with rich coloration and painterly quality as she explores favorite subjects in different hues. Creating a dreamy allure the images are charged with a Baroque sensibility, seducing the viewer with fairytale settings and subtle luminosity. Vadis Turner exhibits cupcakes and a tea party constructed from kitchen materials and sewing goods. Influenced by generations of southern women who reigned in the kitchen and sparkled at society events. The immanent artist was expected to learn the ways of a proper lady, folding her napkin properly and writing gracious thank you notes. Such traditions have been replaced by fast food and superficial entertainment, which becoming our legacy. Many now eat candy for dinner. This exhibition will be the first viewing in New York of paintings by the young Chinese artist Hu Ren Yi. His candy color like paintings are cynical and playful with undertones of sexuality, family and politics. They are constructed simply, although the concept is much deeper than what physically appears on the surface of the canvas. The viewer is engaged by the dream like quality of the images. There is an obvious influence of the tradition of Chinese painting that merges with the contemporary.
Barbara Braathen
Curator, Art Dealer
Emmanuelle Gauthier’s work has an ethereal and atmospheric quality, with a delicate sensitivity to light which creates a mysterious and stage like effect on reality.

-Artist Statement-
“Interventions”
Video art together with photography examine the parallels and liaison between history and truth. The two mediums address issues of misinterpretations, miscommunications and language barriers .
Other themes, such as the rights of animals are very close to my mission of wanting to make a positive change in our life and, give back to this world elements of beauty and wonder. Characterized by a visionary force, the works traces a sense of tragedy and fragility. Inspired, intricately and sensuously styled, the art video titled “Lace” presents lustrous images voluntarily slowed down: capturing and contemplating the moment…all in a surreal film speed. It translates dreamy and eery qualities to movement decomposition and into a different environmental transposition. Against a curtain of violent rupture/ isolation, and a will for using art as an export for social progress and awareness, the images’ aesthetics import a wide range of poetic interpretations.
Experiencing with new software techniques and digital interventions the photography juxtapositions or layers deepens and twists meanings. The moving images are mixed in with music composed with fragmented sample sources running across cultures, time and sensibilities. The piece highlights and emphasizes the importance of cultural differences, the richness and depth of cross cultural exchanges as well as tolerance, and dignity. Emmanuelle Gauthier
NYC, 2006
-ARTIST STATEMENT -
I have always been interested in exploring the
juxtaposition and convergence of illusion and reality.
My photography and film incorporate many references:
video, music, cinematographic special effects, set
design, architecture, poetry and reverie. I’m
interested in linear readings as well as the
possibilities of subjective reinterpretations of
events that have shaped our realities. Luminous and ethereal the images are charged with a
sense of longing, hope and a dreamy allure. Vibrancy
of color imbue the photographs with a warm and sublime
glow. In my process I embrace surrealistic techniques
and theories. Filmmaker’s Luis Bunuel and Jean Cocteau have informed
and inspired my work. Through my films and
photography, I capture the intimate beauty of the
details of life exploring the interconnections and the
fragility of existence. Emmanuelle Gauthier, New York City,2004
—ARTIST STATEMENT —
Art videos titled Dolphins, Transitoriness ( included
in the British Museum collection), dolphins,
effervescence pills, orthodox church, speak with images
mixed with sound, in an elaborate montage that
emulates one’s imagination.
And encourages one’s of having their own
interpretations, through imaginative stimulus…
Using music, editing techniques, repetitive images, an
original concept, and the utilization of storytelling
notions.
The ensemble of my photography works is wrapped up in
a diary style survey of my aesthetic preferences.
Made out of attentive observations where my life
events have transported me.
The different work series ultimately come together in
a reverie collage.
In an omnipresent and also very direct attempt to
unveil life’s deep mysteries the work is mostly
revolving around the themes of loneliness,
psychological states, betrayals, fantasy and reality
realms, blurring system beliefs.
It is translated visually with an imagery of empty
melancolic interiors, extreme close ups of human
forms, close ups of objects, exteriors, abstract
environment which are emotionally charged with a range
of expressed and repressed feelings.
The photos tell the story of social changes throughout
decades, and freezes time into a kaleidoscope of
photos mixed with newspaper clippings, journal entries
and the use of mixed media.
Individual portrait’s placed together to suggest a
single narrative in an exhaustive editing process; that
aim at a critical, long thought juxtaposition of
photographs.
In an inherent artistic logic, the ensemble of the
work thrive to make people think.
Using subjectives point of views designed to haunt
them for a long time. Emmanuelle Gauthier
New York, September 2005 - Aesthetics of Belonging -
Curated by Kasia Kay- Scope Artfair- NYC 2007- Layered and complex ideas of gender, identity, belonging, sexuality and intimate narratives are explored in selected artworks. Presented here short-films examine issues of relationships, the construction of female and her belonging to society, and in relationship.Few works with focus on aesthetics of belonging to space, allude to notions of absence and presence, a sense of place and of no place, volume and void, notions of home, as well as personal freedom and belonging to a pre-constructed world. Artists included: Kristin Anderson, Sandra Bermudez, Emmanuelle Gauthier, David A. Parker, Nick & Shelia Pye, Alicja Karska and Aleksandra Went, and Chris Wasko. The photographs, painting, and collages of Emmanuelle
Gauthier are each different manifestations of the same
desire, to communicate the basic mystery of life.
Though the artist works in a range of different
mediums, she never limits her esthetic choices to one
type of image at a time, nor does she restrain a
natural inclination to exhibit them together, creating
tangents of recognition. Much of Gauthier’s imagery
comes from media sources that may include high school
text books, events reported on TV news programs, as
well as from her own senses. Combining first- and
second-hand images, Gauthier simultaneously offers up
a critique on the nature of meaningful encounter and
on those sources of knowledge which contribute to it.
The many specific images she portrays do not
immediately answer the questions they pose, but
provide further details–further complexities–that
open up the perspective of the viewer. Rather than
seeking a highly focused and morally specific imagery,
the artist expresses the broadest possible spectrum,
which in turn provides more context, and more answers
that ironically enter into a dialectic with existence.

Lake JB Thomas, a serene body of water, is nestled in the heart of Texas, USA. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, this picturesque lake offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Why Lake JB Thomas?

Laomerica 50 Now Open!
In the Lao language, democracy is ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ “Pa-xa Ti-pa-tai”. The idea of diaspora, or Lao living outside of Laos is often considered as ລາວນອກ “Lao Nawk” two ideas that are relatively new to the Lao people.
2023-2025 marks the 50th anniversary since the end of the US Secret War in Laos and the transition from the Royal Lao Government to the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and the start of a journey for many with roots in Laos around the world, including the US.
How have these communities transitioned from monarchy to democracy? This is a question we are exploring in Minneapolis at the Minneapolis Central Library in downtown with an exhibit of over 80 items reflecting over 100 years of history in Southeast Asia, the US and across the globe. This exhibit runs until September 27th on the 2nd floor in the Cargill Gallery, at 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55401 on most days starting at 9AM until 8PM (M-T) and 5PM (F-Su).  This exhibit is free to the public and is suitable for families of all ages. You can see some of the images from the opening week here.
Tumblr media
Minnesota has the third largest Laotian refugee population in the United States, which includes over 13,000 ethnic Lao, Khmu, Tai Dam, Iu Mien and others, and over 60,000 Hmong per Census 2020 and the American Community Survey. Our history with Minnesota in many ways began with Vice-President Hubert Humphrey’s historic visit to Laos in 1966, and our global stories are still intertwined with Minnesota’s history in many unexpected ways. For example, the United States dropped more bombs on Laos than on any other country in the 20th century, and 80 percent of all bombing casualties in Laos were civilians. The war is estimated to have killed 10 percent of the population. Over 30% of Laos remains contaminated with cluster bombs, many initially manufactured in Minnesota. Many fled to the United States because of their role in assisting the US during the Vietnam War, but few Americans know the full story.
As a community, fewer than 14% successfully graduate college and fewer than 1% go on to a Masters degree or higher. Many live in low-income multigenerational households with limited English, with an estimated 30% below the Federal poverty line.
Over the decades the community grappled with culture shock, anti-Asian racism, gang issues, early teen pregnancy, untreated PTSD and depression, substance abuse and gambling addictions, extreme domestic violence concerns, police brutality, challenges and gender equity issues. These issues were particularly challenging during the pandemic.
At the same time, Minnesota has served as the home to internationally recognized writers, artists, educators, entrepreneurs and community builders who’ve represented Laos and Minnesota at the Olympics, the Smithsonian, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Library of Congress and many other institutions.
Tumblr media
While Laos has often been described as a quiet peaceful Eden, much of its history is marked by turmoil and invasion, occupation and upheaval. Lao arts often searched for the best of their traditions, celebrating harmony and nature, the search for truth, wisdom and compassion, and the rejection of violence. More easily said than done at times. Over the last 5 years we gathered archival photographs, visual art, short films, textiles, ephemera, rare books, and cultural objects that reflect the inner and outer lives of our community, not only focusing on our memories, traditions and customs, but our dreams and visions for our community in both Minnesota and across the globe.
Tumblr media
We hope you'll join us and tell others about this ground-breaking exhibit, one of the first of its kind in the Minnesota library system. "Laomerica 50: Democracy and Diaspora" coincides with Lao American Artist Heritage Month in August.
Related events include:
Wednesday, August 7, 6-8 p.m. – Artist Reception at Minneapolis Central Library Doty Board Room
Saturday, August 10, Noon-3 p.m. – Artists in Focus: A community conversation and reflection with Lao artists Bay Koulabdara, Tou Her, and Bryan Thao Worra at Minneapolis Central Library Pohlad Hall
Saturday, September 14, 1-3 p.m. – Nakavi Lao Poet Convention at Minneapolis Central Library Pohlad Hall
Sunday, September 15, 1-4p.m. – Laomerica Film Festival at Minneapolis Central Library Pohlad Hall
1-2 p.m. Lao American Short Films
2-4 p.m. Origin Story: The Documentary
Friday, September 27, 3-5 p.m. – Closing Reception at Minneapolis Central Library Doty Board Room
Several of these programs are made possible through money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. These were made possible by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Jean-Laurent Mosnier: Self-portrait
Painting exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN.
1786 Oil-on-canvas Jean-Laurent Mosnier was painter to the queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, and was known for his detailed, highly polished portraits. Here, however, the treatment is less finished, especially in the background, because this is a sketch made for his own use. In 1787, during the approval process for his acceptance into the French Royal Academy, he exhibited a self-portrait showing him seated at the easel with two young women admiring his work. Mia’s painting was his preparatory sketch. The rounded object at the right is the artist’s palette, which held his paints as he worked. Mosnier’s close ties to the royal family caused him to flee shortly after the outbreak of the French Revolution (1787–99). He spent six years in London, four in Hamburg, Germany, and the last eight years of his life in St. Petersburg, Russia, where this painting remained throughout the 1800s.
