Artist of the Day: Tamara de Lempicka (1989-1980) was born in Warsaw to Jewish parents and was raised as part of the social and cultural elite. Her life was disrupted by the Russian Revolution of 1917, and she was forced to flee to France with her family. Lempicka decided to take up painting partially to support her family. She became fairly successful as a portrait painter, but with the start of WWII she was again forced to flee, and moved to the United States. She is know today for her portraits and still life paintings, all executed in her distinctive art deco style.

Native American Confederates 1861-1865 🇺🇲 "The last Confederate troops to surrender in the Civil War were Native American... ...It was led not by one of the wealthy white southerners who made up much of the Confederacy's officer class — but by a Native American chief called Stand Watie. Watie raised a force of Native Americans to fight for the Confederacy as North and South went to war. It was the federal government, responsible for robbing Cherokee of their ancestral land, which Watie — in common with many of his people — saw as his main enemy, not the Confederacy. ....Many Cherokee were themselves slave owners, with some taking their slaves with them to Indian Territory after the forced resettlements west." #WhiteHistoryMonth #WHM2023 #EyesOnTheLiez #NativeAmerica #CivilWar #TheConfederacy #Slavery #Abolition #YuruguVirus #Yurugu #WeHaveNoFriends #Reparations 👣🦅♟️🪓🔗🏹 (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNR_h6OYOv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Artist of the Day: Vivian Maier (1926-2009) was born in New York City of a French mother and Austrian father, and was raised in the US and France. As an adult she often worked as a nanny to support herself, while at the same time avidly taking street photography. Her work was totally unknown to the public until after her death, when 10,000’s of her photographs and negatives were discovered in storage lockers. Much of her work is set in Chicago and New York, and also includes a surprising number of selfies.

Artist of the Day: Contemporary Polish artist Justyna Kopania paints with a shimmering, luminous color. Her subjects vary, but includes ships and seascapes, cityscapes, moonlight and foliage. I am not sure that there is any artist genre that her work fits into, so you will just have to look at it for yourself.

Artist of the Day: Catherine Murphy is a contemporary American realist painter. She often paints more mundane subjects, but is a master at replicating the textures of the objects she paints. Her painting Comforter is on of my favorites. To me, at first glance, it looks like looks like a fairly interesting abstract painting, but if you see the title and then look at the painting again, you realize that it is not an abstract painting at all.
