‘In 1901, when Robert Henri and his wife Linda had moved into their new home at 512 East 58th Street, at least two blocks south of the scene in this painting, they were conscious that they lived in a district that was not elegant (although elegant residence were not far away), but they had a view that the artist enjoyed and made much of. [This] is one of a series of evocative river views that Henri painted near his home over the next two years. In April 1902, Cumulous Clouds, East River, was featured in a one-man exhibition of Henri’s works at the Macbeth Gallery in New York. This was the same gallery where Henri and his fellow Ashcan-School painters and two outside artists would famously show in 1908 as “The Eight.” Henri’s 1902 show included views of the East River & New York streets, such as Cumulous Clouds, as well as scenes the artist had recently painted during his travels in France.’ http://americanexperience.si.edu/historical-eras/modern-united-states/pair-eviction-tanagra/

“Betalo Rubino, Dramatic Dancer” by Robert Henri (American) - Oil on canvas / 1916 - Saint Louis Art Museum (Missouri) #WomenInArt #RobertHenri #Henri #SaintLouisArtMuseum #SLAM #PortraitofaWoman #Dancer #artText #art #BetaloRubino #AmericanArtist #AmericanArt #OilPainting #StLouisArtMuseum #1910s
American artist Robert Henri painted this work in New York in 1916, at a moment when he urged artists to look to the modern city’s working people, immigrants, and performers for subjects with real vitality. The St. Louis Art Museum describes Betalo Rubino as a Spanish dancer living in New York City, and her stance reads as performance and self-definition at once with hands on hips, body angled, eyes direct, as if she controls the terms of the encounter. The full-length portrait shows the woman standing with both hands set firmly on her hips, shoulders squared and face turning back towards the front looking past us. She has light-to-medium skin with warm blush at the cheeks plus dark eyes and thick black hair parted at center with a single curl sweeping across her forehead. A pale, translucent veil covers her head and drapes down her back, softening the edges of her profile. She wears small gold hoop earrings and a sleeveless stage bodice in molten orange, gathered at the waist and cut in a deep V that leaves much of her chest and upper torso uncovered. From the waist, a heavy black skirt falls to the floor in broad, painterly folds, streaked near the hem with quick bands of yellow. Her pointy shoe provides a flash of bright red to punctuate the dark lower half. The background is sweeping green and blue-green brushstrokes, like moving air or stage light. The paint is confident and visible as edges blur, so she feels poised between stillness and the next step with practiced, self-possessed intensity. Henri’s bold palette treats color as drama. A contemporary reviewer wrote that one is struck by the “strength” of his color and “the daring of it.” Henri himself insisted, “What we need is an art that expresses the spirit of the people of today.” Seen through that lens, the veil and costume suggest a role crafted for the stage, while the loose, energetic brushwork keeps her from becoming a fixed stereotype so she remains vivid, individual, and unapologetically present.
