Alice Kent Stoddard (1883–1976) was an American painter of portraits, landscapes, and seascapes. Many of her works, particularly portraits, are in public collections, including University of Pennsylvania's portrait collection, Woodmere Art Museum, and other museums. She lived and painted on Monhegan Island in Maine, an enclave of artists. During World War II, she worked as a combat artist and drafted designs for airplanes. She married late in life to Joseph Pearson, who had been a friend and taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Via Wikipedia

The Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, has a fantastic exhibit of her art and life. I had no idea who she was when I went to the Woodmere that day, but have been captivated ever since. It’s so much fun to see and experience the lineage and inspiration of that art style, which I also love so much!

Painting.

Hi everyone, I'm behind schedule and my inbox looks like this:

I'm clearing my asks, turning them off, and doing nothing but work and will post nothing except direct posts about my work. I'm under a lot of pressure and need to focus.

One more final comment answer.

Someone seemed to be upset about my method of painting the Good Omens art. I thought it was a strange comment, so looked at their feed. All the cartoons they displayed were made in flat color or with the common digital color style that looks like a slick metallic airbrush finish. Which is fine.

But obviously, I chose not to do that on Good Omens.

The painting on Good Omens is more rendered and uses more color variance because I like painterly effects.

I could make everything look slick or flat, and it would take less time. But I want my art to look painterly.

I like paintings like this.

Lest anyone conclude the use of texture and brushwork is limited to fine art, here is an illustration by Elizabeth Shippen Green.

And Violet Oakley, who was not only a noted illustrator, but one of America's premiere muralists.

So there it is.

I hope you will check out some of the other works by these painters. I think you will be especially impressed by the life of Violet Oakley, who is one of my great idols.

John W. Mosley (May 19, 1907 – October 1, 1969) was a self-taught photojournalist who documented the everyday activities of the African-American community in Philadelphia for more than 30 years, a period including both WWII and the civil rights movement. His work was published in newspapers and magazines including The Philadelphia Tribune, The Pittsburgh Courier, and Jet magazine.

He has been called a “cultural warrior” for preserving a record of African American life in Pennsylvania, one which combats “negative stereotypes and false interpretations of African-American history and culture”. More than 300,000 of his photographs are included in the Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection at Temple University. Exhibitions of his work have been shown at the Philadelphia International Airport and the Woodmere Art Museum.

He studied at Johnson C. Smith University.

He moved to Philadelphia as part of the Great Migration. He obtained a job as a professional photographer at Barksdale Photography Studio. He had a darkroom and photographic studio at the Christian Street YMCA. He traveled around Philadelphia on public transit, carrying his cameras and other equipment.

Proud of his heritage, he chose to portray the African American community positively at family, social, and cultural events that were part of daily life. He photographed individuals and families at weddings, picnics, churches, segregated beaches, sporting events, concerts, galas, and civil rights protests. During a time of racism and segregation, he emphasized the achievements of African American celebrities, athletes, and political leaders.

Among those he photographed were Duke Ellington, Cootie Williams, Wilt Chamberlain, Ora Washington, Paul Leroy Robeson, Billy Eckstine, Billie Holiday, Martin Luther King Jr., Cecil B. Moore, Marian Anderson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and President Richard Nixon.

He was the official photographer of the First African Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia.

He was one of the first African Americans to be a syndicated photographer. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

AAD welcomes Jacob Hammes. This spring, Professor Hammes will be teaching ART 013 Sculpture I. Jacob C. Hammes is an interdisciplinary artist, arts organizer, and educator based in Philadelphia. Working primarily in sculpture, drawing, and sound, Hammes explores themes of late capitalist anxieties and how we constitute ourselves as individuals within a backdrop of time/labor precarity. He has exhibited locally and internationally including at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Liberty Museum, the Woodmere Art Museum, the Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University, Temple Contemporary, the Hyde Park Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2016, Hammes received the Ilya and Emilia Kabakov Fellowship in Sculpture for his proposal to build the space that would become Pilot + Projects, an artist-run exhibition space in Kensington of which he is a founder, curator, and co-director. The space has held over three dozen exhibitions, screenings, lectures, and performances of local and international artists. Recently, Hammes has moved into comedy and joke writing. He is the author of 101 Jokes About the Working Class (2020), and “Grand Ballroom of Doom,” a biweekly comic strip depicting the brutality of late-stage capitalism as absurdist comedy, published by Artblog. In 2021, he was awarded funding from the Knight Foundation to produce “Uprising and Aftermath,” a long-form radio piece featuring interviews with activists who were victims of police violence during recent social justice protests in Philadelphia. The work will be broadcast on WPEB FM in the summer of 2022. Hammes also teaches at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University, University of the Arts, and Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. Hammes received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his MFA from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University. #welcome #lehighuniversity #lehighaad #art #architecture #design #sculpture #studio #threedimensionaldesign (at Lehigh University Art, Architecture and Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbdKlOWuAaC/?utm_medium=tumblr
