Woman and Artist

Max O'Rell

Sinopse

Max O'Rell's "Woman and Artist" explores the intricate relationship between femininity and artistry in the socio-cultural context of late 19th-century Europe. Through a series of captivating essays, O'Rell adopts a conversational literary style, employing wit and keen observation to challenge the societal norms that dictate the roles of women and artists. He delves into the emotional and intellectual struggles faced by women pursuing art, interweaving anecdotes with broader philosophical reflections, thus positioning the work as a crucial commentary on gender and creativity within the burgeoning feminist discourse of its time. Max O'Rell, a prominent French writer and humorist, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning movements advocating for women's rights and artistic freedom during his lifetime. His experiences traveling and lecturing across Europe exposed him to a diverse array of perspectives on gender, culminating in a profound understanding of the obstacles women artists faced. O'Rell's commitment to social reform and his own artistic inclinations is evident in his empathetic portrayal of his subjects, marking him as an early champion of women's voices in the arts. "Woman and Artist" is a seminal work that not only enlightens readers about a pivotal era in feminist history but also resonates with contemporary discussions on gender and art. O'Rell's insightful perspective invites readers to reconsider established narratives and celebrate the contributions of women in the artistic sphere. This book is essential for scholars, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersection of gender and creativity.

Women Holding Things

Maria Kalman

From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty and My Favorite Things comes a wondrous collection of words that is a moving meditation on the beauty and complexity of women’s lives and roles, revealed in the things they hold.
“What do women hold? The home and the family. And the children and the food. The friendships. The work. The work of the world. And the work of being human. The memories. And the troubles. And the sorrows and the triumphs. And the love.”
In the spring of 2021, Maira and Alex Kalman created a small, limited-edition booklet “Women Holding Things,” which featured select recent paintings by Maira, accompanied by her insightful and deeply personal commentary. The booklet quickly sold out. Now, the Kalmans have expanded that original publication into this extraordinary compendium.
Women Holding Things includes thoughtful and intimate anecdotes, recollections, and ruminations about portraits of women, both ordinary and famous, including Virginia Woolf, Sally Hemings, Hortense Cezanne, Gertrude Stein, as well as Kalman’s family members and other real-life people. These women hold a range of objects, from the mundane—balloons, a cup, a whisk, a chicken, a hat—to the abstract—dreams and disappointments, sorrow and regret, joy and love.
Kalman considers the many things that fit physically and metaphorically between women’s hands: We see a woman hold a book, hold shears, hold children, hold a grudge, hold up, hold her own. In telling their stories, Kalman lays bare the essence of women’s lives—their tenacity, courage, vulnerability, hope, and pain. Ultimately, she reveals that many of the things we hold dear—as well as those that burden or haunt us—remain constant and connect us from generation to generation.
Here, too, are mentions of a few men holding things, such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Anton Chekhov, as well as objects holding other objects that invite us to ponder their intimate relationships to one another.
Women Holding Things explores the significance of the objects we carry—in our hands, hearts, and minds—and speaks to, and for, all of us. Maira Kalman’s unique work is a celebration of life, of the act and the art of living, offering an original way of examining and understanding all that is important in our world—and ultimately within ourselves.
