Violet Oakley is counted among the principle figures of the American Renaissance, a movement of artists in the late 19thC and early 20thC who advocated for the cultural renewal and spiritual revitalisation of American life. This portrait (c1918) is of the painter William Langson Lathrop.

When you're watching _Poltergeist_ for the first time in literal decades and only remember a couple of set pieces about it, mostly, and then a scene cuts to where the academic researchers are supposed to be based and you go "Holy shit, UCI's Langson Library, where I worked for almost twenty years!"
From 1982's _Poltergeist_, an insert shot of UC Irvine's Langson Library in the early 1980s (then simply called the Main Library). What's tripping me out big time is recognizing every last detail of the architecture, setting and angle but noting how there's more sunlight in general because those trees grew much more over time by the time I got there in the 1990s.

The UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art, long one of the worst run art museums in the US (OCMA's never-reported 2020 deaccessioning of major works is among the worst museum scandals of the 2020s), hires an experienced hand for its new incarnation.

“Bus Stop” by Elsie Palmer Payne (American) - Oil on canvas / 1949 - Langson Institute and Museum of California Art (Irvine, California) #WomenInArt #art #artText #artwork #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #ElsiePalmerPayne #Payne #LangsonIMCA
#AmericanArtist #BlueskyArt #UCI #WomenPaintingWomen
A Black woman stands on a city sidewalk, turned three-quarters away but looking directly back at us. Her beautiful deep brown skin is modeled in soft, shadowed tones while her eyes catch a small, bright highlight that sharpens her alert, guarded expression. She wears a dark blouse patterned with pale, curling shapes and a brown skirt. Her black hair is swept up and pinned into a low, tidy coil. The setting is mid-century Los Angeles, California with storefront signs and brick facades, tall streetlamps, and a line of utility poles leading into the distance. White passersby move a sidewalk including one woman in red with a child, a man pausing near the curb, another woman in green looking at her purse while two dogs play nearby. The woman’s body anchors the composition, separating her from the bustle behind her and making her waiting feel both ordinary and exposed. Painted in 1949, “Bus Stop” turns a routine pause into a potentially tense social encounter. The subject’s steady gaze makes us part of the street’s choreography. Is she asking, as writer John Seed frames it, “Can you see me and all I stand for?” Payne restrains her palette to blacks, browns, and smoky grays so the drama lies in posture and presence like dignity held under scrutiny or vulnerability held without collapse. The woman’s identity is unknown, but the painting grants a singular interiority to a Black woman in public space, insisting that her experience is central rather than incidental. The work also echoes the artist’s own life. After the 1947 death of her husband, painter Edgar Alwin Payne, Elsie Palmer Payne supported herself by teaching and commuting by bus in Los Angeles. In these late-1940s genre scenes, she shifted from being publicly framed as “the painter’s wife” to asserting a clear, empathetic voice of her own. “Bus Stop” stands as social realism on a human scale via California light, city grit, and a look that will not be overlooked.
