A Whimsical Painter Who Never Sold A Painting: Florine Stettheimer
Manage episode 387546918 series 3448577
A woman who never sold a painting, but because she didn't want to? This week, Stauney brings us into the whimsical world of Florine Stettheimer, a New York native who opened an eccentric salon, created a whole new painting style, secretly wrote poems about the New York elite, designed furniture, costumes, fashion, stage sets and captured the spirit of the city in a way that hadn't been seen before and hasn't been seen since. She was just as famous as Georgia O'Keefe during her lifetime, and in her death, she was almost completely obliterated from the pages of art history. Join us in learning about her incredible life and legacy and championing her artistry again. Florine Stettheimer is truly unforgettable.
