standing woman with Afro hair wearing a colorful top and orange pants; PL hand rests on hip and a gold bracelet on PR wrist; stands in a corner with a mirror on left side; reflection of woman in the mirror with varnished brown background; blue floor with thin, gold border The woman shown here, Renoir, stands before a mirror, poised, cool, self-assured, and stylish. She was a friend of the artist, Marcia Marcus, and part of an inclusive community of artists, actors, writers, musicians and activists. Renoir’s clothing and hairstyle was daring and modern in 1968, the year she posed for Marcus, but feel current today despite that distance. Size: 72 1/8 × 42 1/8 in. (183.2 × 107 cm) (canvas) 72 7/8 × 42 13/16 × 1 11/16 in. (185.1 × 108.74 × 4.29 cm) (outer frame) Medium: Oil and silver leaf on canvas

Spent the day @expochicago and “stumbled” across this beauty entitled “Art and the Family” by Marcia Marcus @ericfirestonegallery. I had no idea who she was but immediately fell in love. The work was created in 1966! It stands 82h x 132w — no small fry. Marcia painted and collaged one half and let her kids collaborate on the right side. ❤️ You can enjoy her work @ The Whitney in NYC.
