In art history classes too much time is always spent learning about artists who were part of big movements.  While I understand why that is done -- to make history easier to understand in a linear fashion (which it really isn’t), I wish more time was spent learning about artists like this.  I love finding artists from the 19th and 20th centuries who weren’t Impressionist or Post-Impressionist or Neo-Classical or Cubist or Expressionist or whatever other pretentious “ism” was out there. They just did their own thing and were awesome at it. In my opinion, they deserve to be more fondly remembered and more frequently studied than most of the hacks we learn about in later 19th-20th century art history classes.  Stuff like this is why this blog exists, I just wish I had more time to do digging and post myself instead of reblogging every so often...
