Fascinating to read in Remain In Love 📕 by Chris Frantz that David Byrne had pioneered spin painting at art school #RISD well before Damien Hirst 🍭

Made around 1930, this self-portrait by American artist Esther Pressoir places modern self-fashioning at the center of the composition. It’s not a flattering display, but a clear-eyed record of mood, posture, and control. Smoking, then a charged marker of sophistication and transgression, becomes a small, deliberate gesture, echoed by looping smoke and the painting’s circling brushstrokes. The young woman artist with light skin crouches low, her body folded into a compact, almost protective pose. She has short, dark, softly waved hair and strong brows. Her eyes look out from under heavy lids, almost meeting ours with a steady, unsentimental calm. Her lips are painted a vivid red, and warm peach and pink tones model her face and bare shoulder. A thin-strap, sleeveless garment (taupe and dusty rose, edged with quick red lines) wraps her torso and falls in loose folds around her legs. One arm hooks over a raised knee, while the other hand extends downward, holding a small cigarette between long fingers. To the right, pale rings of smoke rise and fade into a turbulent field of grays, browns, and sandy beige. The background is built from broad, circular sweeps of paint, like wind spiraling around her figure. At the bottom edge, a black heeled shoe peeks out, anchoring the pose. Across the surface, the brushwork stays sketchy, energetic, and layered so the Pressoir’s outline seems simultaneously drawn and dissolving. Pressoir, born in Philadelphia and raised in Woonsocket, and a 1923 Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) graduate, was in her late twenties at the time she painted this presentation of herself. The work shows an artist testing how frank a woman’s image can be. She folds inward, yet refuses to look away and claims the right to be seen on her own terms.

The totality of David Byrne’s art piece- ie his massively conceived conceptual concert — is inspiring in its daring and overstuffedness. No minimalism here. One of the reasons I loved it. Like he’s back at #RISD, having rolled up a lifetime of curiosity & sensory experience. #DavidByrne #concert

American artist John White Alexander launched his career as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly, but like other young artists of his generation he advanced his training in Paris. “The Blue Bowl” was shown in Paris and Vienna before appearing at RISD’s annual Autumn Exhibition of 1904. Alexander’s sophisticated style was unique in America, presenting feminine subjects in flattened and asymmetric spaces combined with a fluid technique. More than the Delft bowl of the title, the painting's true subject is the back of the model's gown, spread out as she bends to observe a fallen bloom. Executed with thin washes of color on roughly textured canvas, its sinuous curves and subtle patterning represent the height of Art Nouveau costume, transformed by the artist into an example of daring pictorial design. A woman of fair complexion, her dark hair partially hidden beneath a wide, azure blue headband, has her gaze directed downward at a rather large, shallow bowl containing flowers in her hands. Her posture is slightly bent, suggesting a gentle intimacy with what she holds. Only a small portion of her face is visible; her soft features suggest youthfulness. She is dressed in a long pale-sage gown that drapes beautifully around her slender form. The soft and delicate fabric, with a subtle pattern of scattered pale blue and darker green details, suggestive of flowers or leaves. The gown features a ruffled bodice and falls into many soft folds creating a visually stunning effect of movement and texture. A dark teal or blue sash cinches her waist, adding a touch of color contrast. The canvas is technically a characteristic expression of the method which Alexander adopted to avoid the elaboration of detail which leads to excess of pigment: "using a coarse absorbent canvas and painting with a turpentine or petroleum medium, so that the roughly unglazed surface helps to avoid monotony and heightens the interest of every variation of brush work."
