Lawdy Mama by Barkley L. Hendricks (American) - Oil and gold leaf on canvas / 1969 - Studio Museum in Harlem (New York) #womeninart #portrait #painting #art #StudioMuseuminHarlem #fineart #oilpainting #BarkleyLHendricks #womensart #Hendricks #portraitofawoman #artwork #BarkleyHendricks #artoftheday
An African American woman (the artist's cousin Kathy Williams) strongly faces forward and takes up the center of the solid gold space. She has a beautiful Afro hairstyle and wears a short-sleeved black dress with orange stripes. Inspired by lyrics by Nina Simone, the painting’s title evokes, with a touch of humor, the traditional “Lord” and “Mother” of the Christian faith. The style of the painting is inspired by Byzantine and early Italian Renaissance paintings. In them, gold-leaf backgrounds signal the divine, conveying through material splendor the importance of the devotional object, prompting wonder and meditation. Lawdy Mama’s rounded top, crafted by Hendricks himself, echoes the geometry of Renaissance art and frames the sitter’s afro-as-halo. Hendricks learned the painstaking process of applying gold leaf after returning from Europe in 1966. Noting the delicacy of the precious material, he wrote, “The slightest wind or heavy breath will send it fluttering all over the place.” Though he acknowledged finding inspiration for his metallic paintings in gold-leaf panels from centuries prior, Hendricks also appreciated them as “shiny things” that appeal to viewers regardless of their knowledge of historical precedents.

“Portrait of a Woman; Essence of Dignity” by Geoffrey Holder (Trinidadian) - Colored pencil on paper / c. 1980 - The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York) #womeninart #artwork #GeoffreyHolder #womensart #portrait #pencilart #studiomuseum #fineart #studiomuseuminharlem #trinidadian #portraitofawoman
Geoffrey Lamont Holder was a Trinidadian-American actor, dancer, musician, director, choreographer, and artist. His portrait of a woman titled Essence of Dignity depicts a beautiful dark-skinned woman, rendered in a style reminiscent of a mixed-media technique or the legendary Modigliani, is presented in a thoughtful, contemplative pose. The focus is primarily on her thanks to a textured background of deep green and dark tones. The framing is tight, drawing the viewer's attention directly to the subject. The woman's body takes up most of the canvas as she leans on a bench extending from the lower right quadrant of the image, behind the woman. She has dark curly hair, and her expression is calm and introspective. She wears a loose, orange-red garment with a white lace collar. The detailed rendering of her clothing, hair, and facial features highlights the artist's attention to form and texture. Holder uses visible strokes and marks to show the texture of her hair and clothing, as well as the background elements. His style is expressive and evocative, with a focus on capturing the subject's emotional essence through colors and composition.
