I just want someone to share it all with.
this is so important
I always get so fucking mad when I remember that it’s actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a rat’s ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didn’t bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.
Her name was Baya Mahieddine.
i hope that more people know about her now, especially seeing as OP literally linked to an article about a Baya Mahieddine exhibition in 2018.
It is remarkable that she had such a strong practise and had great influence at 16. Despite various disruptions that caused her to stop painting, she returned to her practise from the 60s until the end of her life.
It was within her work that Baya found freedom. The world she painted, after all, is one where women assert their individuality and are free from the men who attempt to brand them with labels, keep them inside the home, or hold them back in any way. “If I change my paintings, I will no longer be Baya,” the artist said in 1991, after her husband died and she’d returned to painting. “When I paint, I am happy and I am in another world.”

Happy National Poetry Month from this first grader:
We did the soft wind. We danst slowly. We swrld aroned. We danst soft. We lisin to the mozik. We danst to the mozik. We made personal space.

i dont get jay z like im just trying to wrap my mind around hurting someone enough that they miscarry multiple times and then being able to face them and ask for them to forgive me and stay loving me and then having the audacity to like……make “art” out of it and then deciding that art needs decoding in the public eye in every single interview i do it all feels so selfish
