“Self-Portrait in Dresser Mirror: Cream Hill” by Wanda Gág (American) – Black ink applied with brush over traces of graphite on paper / 1930 – Philadelphia Museum of Art (Pennsylvania) #WomenInArt #artText #art #AmericanArtist #1930s #WandaGág #WandaGag #Gág #SelfPortrait #PhiladelphiaMuseumOfArt
American artist Wanda Gág made this self-portrait at Cream Hill, a rural retreat in West Cornwall, Connecticut, where she often escaped city life around 1930. A tall wooden dresser dominates a narrow room, its arched mirror framing the artist’s reflected body. In the glass, we see a light-skinned woman with a close-cropped bob and snug cap sitting sideways on a bed, torso turned toward us, one knee bent forward. She wears a patterned slip that clings to her angled figure, bare arms and legs modeled with dense, rippling ink lines. Her expression is concentrated and slightly wary. Outside the mirror, the room holds only objects like a bright window at left filtered through sheer, wind-ruffled curtains, dark walls closing in at right, small bottles, a box, and a shallow dish scattered across the dresser’s side shelves. The floorboards and a striped rug run toward us in wavering perspective, their heavy cross-hatching making the whole space quiver between the everyday and the uncanny. Long celebrated as a pioneering “New Woman,” Gág supported herself as an illustrator, printmaker, and author (later famed for “Millions of Cats”) while openly embracing feminist independence. Here, she claims a private bedroom as studio and stage, turning a practical piece of furniture into a portal where interior décor, landscape light, and artistic labor converge. Museum writers note that she pictures herself actively engaged in drawing this very work, folding process and product into one looping reflection. The tilted walls, vibrating marks, and doubled space suggest a life in which she made art structures both her surroundings and her sense of self to echo her motto “Draw to live and live to draw.”

If you don't know Wanda's work- that's shocking! Because she's the best! Oh and edit- I didn't mean to say she was 'the first' to do author-illustrator/lettering combo but that she pushed that forward quite a lot. More on @Moonbow.books lnkd.in/gqqXz9R8 #wandagag #millionsofcats #newtypeface

Thinking back on the Wanda Gág show @whitney.org not too long ago. Better known for her children’s book ‘Millions of Cats’ - which I loved as a child - she also made works on paper including these incredibly stunning lithos of domestic scenes. #wandagág
