Ep 80: Resilience Through Research (Pt 3) w/ Jennifer Coates


Listen Later

Artist, Jennifer Coates is back for Part 3 in our series about finding artistic resilience through research! This time we look at these artists and how they adapted to their own gloomy times of foreboding:


Kay Sage: Found a way to paint even though she was a victim of domestic violence and ignored by the art world, and used her money to help Surrealist artists flee Germany and France before WWII

Grete Stern: Sneakily slipped in feminist art into a fluffy women's magazine under the Peronist regime

Jacob Lawrence: Illustrated injustices and acts of racism not covered by the history books

Frederic Edwin Church: Painted an emblem that many thought symbolized the coming Civil War


Works mentioned:

Kay Sage works: "This Morning" 1939, "China Eggs" Autobiography, "I Saw Three Cities" 1944, "A Bird in the Room" 1955, "Destiny" a poem

Grete Stern works: "Los Sueños: Muñecos (Dreams: The Doll)" 1949 for Idilio Magazine (Argentina)

Jacob Lawrence works: "The Life of Toussaint Louverture," "Migration" and "Struggle" Series

Frederic Edwin Church works: "Meteor" 1860, with writers/poets: Herman Melville's "The Portent" 1859, Walt Whitman's "Year of Meteors" 1860 and "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" 1856 (both "Leaves of Grass")


Special thanks to art historian and Senior Curator at the Smithsonian, Eleanor Harvey, for her presentation on the Civil War - from which I got most of my information on the meteor and its effects on the culture then: https://www.youtube.com/live/3r1_xWV1ICU?si=QtC2xKeHq7oHzNfQ


Other artists mentioned: André Breton, Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca


**Disclaimer: As we are not historians by trade, some factual errors may have slipped through. Apologies if so **
