Charlotte Cushman 1816-1876 William Page (1811-1885) Oil on canvas, 1853
Charlotte Cushman 1816-1876 Born Boston, Massachusetts Billed as "the greatest living tragic actress" of the mid-nineteenth century, Charlotte Cushman excelled in portraying strong women, notably William Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth. She became best known, however, for convincingly portraying male characters, including Hamlet and Romeo. While other female performers titillated audiences by crossdressing as men, Cushman used her large physique, prominent jawline, and athleticism to astonish viewers with an uncanny experience of gender-bending verisimilitude. Cushman defied gender norms offstage as well, often dressing in the masculine style represented in this portrait. She managed her own career and demanded equal pay with male actors. Lack of public awareness about lesbian sexuality enabled her to sustain long-term intimate relationships with women while avoiding scandal. From 1845 to 1849, Cushman toured Britain, impressing audiences with her vigorous "American" acting style. During the 1850s, she became the center of an expatriate community of women artists and writers in Rome, where this portrait was painted. William Page (1811-1885) Oil on canvas, 1853

Sign that reads 'Photography encouraged'
You better believe I felt encouraged.
Happy Monday, heathens. We're taking the train back home tomorrow night. I can't believe this trip is almost over.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.
