“The Librarian” by Winold Reiss (German-American) Pastel and tempera on Whatman board / 1925 - Morgan Library & Museum (New York) #WomenInArt #ArtText #art #WinoldReiss #Reiss #MorganLibrary&Museum #TheMorgan #womensart #portraitofawoman #librarian #artoftheday #AmericanArt #HarlemRenaissance #1920s
German-born American artist and graphic designer Winold Reiss made numerous portraits of Harlem residents in the 1920s, including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Paul Robeson, Alain Locke, and other well-known cultural figures. But, he also painted anonymous sitters and created composite portraits such as “The Librarian.” The image was reproduced as part of the series “Four Portraits of Negro Women” in the landmark March 1925 issue of “Survey Graphic,” titled “Harlem, Mecca of the New Negro”—an important publication of the “Harlem Renaissance” or “New Negro Renaissance.” The portraits precede educator Elise Johnson McDougald’s article “The Double Task: The Struggle of Negro Women for Sex and Race Emancipation.” During this era, Black women librarians were pioneers in their work and fought hard to bring literacy and information access to their communities. They were also inspiring speakers and writers. Despite making up only a small fraction of the profession, Black librarians were proud of their work and outspoken in their advocacy for their communities. The Chicago Public Library (CPL) system's first African American librarian (assigned February 26, 1924)Vivian G. Harsh once said, “If we as Negroes knew the full truth about what we, as a race, have endured and overcome just to stay alive with dignity, our respect and hunger for education would triple overnight.” Reiss depicts a mature, elegant African American woman wearing a black hat adorned with a large white ribbon. Over a yellow shirt, she has on a white fur coat with a distinctive striped cuff detail on the sleeves. A black cord is draped around her neck. She is holding a large book in her left hand. The woman's expression is neutral with a forward gaze, suggesting confidence and composure. The portrait conveys a sense of dignity and poise with an air of sophistication and elegance, reflective of a bygone era. It's a portrait that suggests a story, but leaves the specifics open to interpretation.

Portrait of Mrs. J.P. Morgan, Jr. (Jane Norton Grew) by John Singer Sargent (American) - Oil on canvas with some impasto / 1906 - Morgan Library & Museum (New York) #womeninart #art #portrait #portraitofawoman #fineart #MorganLibrary&Museum #AmericanArt #JohnSingerSargent #womensart #beauty #Sargent
Contrary to the artist's inscribed date of 1906, Mrs. Morgan apparently sat for Sargent between 1904 and 1905 when she was about 35 years old. The Boston-born Jane "Jessie" Norton Grew married J. P. Morgan, Jr., in 1890. Sargent painted her portrait in 1904-1905 in London, where the Morgans had lived since 1898. Jessie Morgan noted in her scrapbook that Sargent "thinks it the best work he has done this year. He arranged a mirror so that I could watch him paint. It was thrilling to see him work." The following year, Sargent largely ceased the time-consuming work of painting portraits in oil, favoring the expediency of charcoal. While a drawn charcoal portrait could be completed in two to three hours, Jessie Morgan sat for Sargent thirteen times to create this painting. The following year, Sargent declined to paint her husband's portrait. In this portrait, we see Jessie wearing a stunning pinkish-white, embroidered satin evening gown with a fitted bodice and sheer short sleeves, puffed at the shoulder. She holds a magnificent snow white fur stole and small folding fan in her right hand. She stands in front of a large classical column and a dark orangish-red background which allows us to focus our gaze on her beauty and attire. The great Parisian couturier Charles Frederick Worth reportedly designed the dress.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPatterns A decorative wrought iron grille in the #MorganLibrary (See the alt text for the full museum description) and click on the replies for a closer detail image.
The decorative grille above features an astonishing 648 wrought-iron birds, each with a unique beak. The craftsman, the Russian-born Samuel Yellin, became a master blacksmith while he was still in his teens and studied fine examples of medieval and Renaissance ironwork before settling in Philadelphia in 1905. He became the greatest architectural metalworker of his age, and his distinctive designs can be found everywhere-from New York's Federal Reserve Bank to Washington's National Cathedral to the campus of Yale University. His first major commission, in 19II, was a grand entrance gate for Matinicock Point, J. P. Morgan, Jr.'s, home in Glen Cove, Long Island. In the 1920S, when Morgan commissioned this building to serve as a research library and exhibition space, his architect Benjamin Wistar Morris naturally turned to Yellin for the ornamental ironwork.
