Una raccolta tematica sui panni stesi ad asciugare. Duemila anni di bucato al sole e al vento.

Gerda Gottlieb (1886-1940) was born in the coastal town of Grenaa, rural Jutland. Despite a conservative upbringing as vicar’s daughter, she somehow persuaded her family to let her leave home for Copenhagen as a teenager to study at the newly opened women’s college of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Paula Figueiroa Rego nació en Lisboa, Portugal, en 1935. Tuvo una infancia marcada por el catolicismo en los años de la dictadura de Oliveira Salazar en Portugal. Creció con la idea del pecado como eje central y una posición especial en cuanto a niña o mujer que vive en una sociedad machista y retrógrada, lo que sin duda debió de influirle profundamente en los personajes que plasma en su pintura, “siniestros y dominantes”. Se formó inicialmente en la St. Julian’s School de Carcavelos, Portugal, y más tarde en Londres en la Slade School of Art, en la que fue alumna de William Coldstream. En esta última conocería al que sería su marido, el también artista Victor Willing. En sus primeros trabajos de las décadas de 1960 y 1970, podemos ver rasgos neodadaístas o un estilo informal, en el que mezcla técnicas diferentes con pintura y collage, en las que plasmó imágenes infantiles, fetichistas y traumáticas, rasgos fundamentales en su estilo más maduro, en el que desarrolla un camino ilustrativo y figurativo. Se le adjudican influencias de Francis Bacon y Lucian Freud pero sobre todo con Beatrix Potter y sus libros de cuentos de hadas. Podemos observar también palpables similitudes con la obra de Rola Balthus. Formó parte del London Group participando en exposiciones colectivas con David Hockney o Kitaj, entre otros. En sus obras suele tratar de realidades sociales polémicas relacionadas con la mujer, como en el caso del Tríptico de la Serie, sobre el aborto, o con otros temas políticos. Su estilo es a veces comparado con las ilustraciones de historietas o tebeos. Como en las historietas, los animales se representan a menudo en papeles y situaciones humanas. Sus últimos trabajos muestran un estilo más realista, pero en ocasiones continúan las referencias animales, la serie Dog Woman de 1990 por ejemplo, en una serie de cuadros al pastel que representa a mujeres con diferentes poses propias de perros (ladrando a la luna, etc). Ha realizado así mismo un retrato de Germaine Greer, que se encuentra actualmente en la Galería Nacional del Retrato de Londres, así como el retrato oficial del presidente portugués Jorge Sampaio. En Cascais hay un museo dedicado a su obra, la Casa das Histórias – Museu Paula Rego. Considerada en el Reino Unido como una artista inglesa, en 1989 entró en la lista de candidatos al Premio Turner, y en 2005 le fue concedido el grado de Doctor Honoris Causa de las Letras por la Universidad de Oxford.

It's hard to understand why so few female painters have their work widely acclaimed. Offhand I can only offer Georgia O'Keeffe as example of an internationally instantly recognised artist. In the past I've featured Frida Kahlo, Grandma Moses, Beryl Cook, and a bunch of female illustrators of children's books. All those ladies achieved some level of fame in their own countries but none but is a household name on a par with Salvador Dali, Edward Hopper, Gustav Klimt, David Hockney and such. Where are the "big hitters"? Why haven't more females risen to the top of this pile? Male dominance is fairly understandable in some fields, but in this particular field, especially from mid-20th century on, it is really puzzling. In the interests of balance, I searched around for female artists, known or little-known, to spotlight for the next week or two. First up, Lisa Milroy. She was born in Vancouver, Canada on 16 January 1959. I noticed one website (Answers) states 13 January, but I prefer to rely on The Royal Academy of Arts website A look at examples of her art via Google Image (below) told me something right away: Saturn is playing a leading role here - regimentation, structure, practicalities. Her Sun in Saturn-ruled Capricorn fits this, but not sufficiently, there will be more. Saturn in her chart is conjunct Mercury (communication planet) and in Capricorn, its traditional domicile, so comes through in the personality louder and clearer than when placed in other signs. Uranus (the unexpected) in Leo opposes Venus (planet of the arts) in Uranus's home sign Aquarius - a connection to the artist's rather unusual choice of subjects. Extract from another Royal Academy of Arts page: Her best-known pictures – the huge white canvases of immaculately painted geishas (so sharp in detail you think they must be holding their breath) or the grids of objects, such as shoes or drawer handles – celebrate life’s details with the passion of a taxonomist. Reproductions give an idea of the context of her works but only in the flesh can you see the sensuously worked textures that make them sing. "life’s details with the passion of a taxonomist" translates as: Pluto (passion) in detail oriented Virgo, linked to Mercury/Saturn in Capricorn by harmonious trine. (PS Wikipedia tells us that "Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word finds its roots in the Greek τάξις, taxis (meaning 'order', 'arrangement') and νόμος, nomos ('law' or 'science')..... very Saturn!) At the link above, the artist tells how, while searching for a new studio location she came to draw geishas: Throughout her studio search Milroy felt a strong need to keep connected to painting. ‘It’s terrifying to let go of a studio, quite unnerving. To maintain a link, and also amuse myself, I began to make thumbnail sketches – in my A-Z and on estate agents’ handouts – of geishas that featured in the Japanese prints on which I had recently based some paintings. Soon these geishas morphed into a troupe of geishas of my own design and kept me company during my search. When I finally found my studio and moved in, the first paintings I made were of these geishas – they demanded it!’ Milroy visits Japan often: ‘It is the most visually engaging place I’ve ever been to, and the most foreign.’
