I just love the work of Florine Stettheimer! It’s fun, colorful, and completely unique. I’ve seen her work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Philadelphia Museum of Art (the painting above), and the Newark Museum, and I’m always so happy when I spot one of her paintings. Because I enjoy Florine’s work so much, I wrote an article about her for DailyArt Magazine. Give it a read to learn about her one-of-a-kind life and work.
Alexandra Kiely, aka A Scholarly Skater, is an art historian based in the northeastern United States. She loves wandering down the dark and dusty corners of art history and wholeheartedly believes in visual art's ability to enrich every person's life.
Her favorite periods of art history are 19th-century American painting and medieval European art and architecture. When she not looking at, reading about, writing about, or teaching art, she's probably ice dancing or reading.
