21.01.2022 "Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things." - Georgia O’Keefe O’Keeffe’s practice o...f intense and up-close observation is exemplified in this 1924 work based on the sensation of looking down on the watery surface of Lake George. While representational imagery dominated O’Keeffe’s Lake George years, pure abstraction remained at the heart of her practice. O’Keeffe often suggested that the most abstract image might be most meaningful. As she matured as an artist, she realized that she did not desire to capture the surface appearance of things. Instead, she labored to eliminate some things and emphasize others in order to dive deeper into the experience of objects as revealed through color and form. In From the Lake, No. 3, the artist’s observation of the reflective properties of the water resulted in a vibrant and visually disorientating pattern of abstracted flame-shaped forms that reflect the colors of the surrounding landscape. The light refracted in the ripples of water reveal reflections of the lush tones of the green trees and brown land that encircled the lake. O’Keeffe’s deep engagement with the landscape is revealed in her careful scrutiny of the beauty and bounty of the lake and her study of every facet of its natural phenomena, including the water’s surface. Through such practices, O’Keeffe exploited the tension between the representational and the abstract, resulting in some of her most innovative work. . . What aspects in nature are you most drawn to?

01.01.2022 The Dietzsch family of artists was based in Nuremberg, Germany, which was a thriving centre of botanical art in the 18th century. Barbara, Margaretha and Johann... were three of nine children born to the painter Johann Israel (1681-1754), and altogether were employed at the Nuremberg Court. While their brother and father focused more on landscapes, Barbara and Margaretha achieved success through their botanical watercolours, many included birds and insects. The depiction of such subjects was then deemed most befitting for women, for it was thought to require a delicate hand. ‘The Dietzsches were an important family of painters, engravers, and musicians that flourished in Nuremberg during the eighteenth century. The patronage of Dr. Christoph Trew, the great botanist and bibliographer, made Nuremberg one of the foremost centers of botanical art in the world, and the Dietzsch family was one of the most noted of the era. Barbara Regina Dietzsch is particularly well known for her marvelous renderings of flowers and fruit in watercolor and gouache. Employed at the court of Nuremberg, she painted primarily in watercolor and gouache and produced extensively for engravers there. Her work was of such outstanding quality that it was used by Trew and the great flower painter Georg Ehret for a number of plates in the Hortus Nitidissimis (1750-86). Indeed, even at the time of its production, Dietzsch’s art was much sought after by collectors in both the Netherlands and England, and it is recorded that some of the best known painters of the time even accepted her works as a form of payment, signaling the type of celebrated reputation she was able to attain within her lifetimea celebration that has only continued to grow ever since. Like most of her family's work, Barbara Regina Dietzsch's watercolors are often characterized by the use of a black or dark brown ground, and it is partly upon the basis of this that the current attribution has been based. Ehret also occasionally placed his bouquets on a dark background, but these are not nearly as successful as Dietzsch's in making the subject come to life. Various examples of her work can be found in the Broughton Collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and in each the dark ground is present. What separates the work of Barbara Regina from that of her other family members is the remarkable clarity of depiction and skill in rendering. With unbelievable mastery and stylistic power, Dietzsch overcame contemporary estimations of women's inferiority in the field of art, creating watercolors of distinctive splendor..’ From the Arader Gallery website Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706-1783) Margaretha Barbara Dietzsch (1726-1795) Johann Christoph Dietzsch (1710-1769)
