Author Series | Bridget Quinn | Portrait of a Woman
Discover the story of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard-a long-ignored artist and feminist of eighteenth-century France. Award-winning author Bridget Quinn discusses her new book Portrait of a Woman during this virtual event for the Hudson Library & Historical Society. The book is a compelling and inspiring look at an artist too long overlooked.
Born in Paris in 1749, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard rose from shopkeeper’s daughter to an official portraitist of the royal court-only to have her achievements reduced to ash by the French Revolution. While she defied societal barriers to become a member of the exclusive Académie Royale and a mentor for other ambitious women painters, she left behind few writings...

    One comment by someone who has used plating. It is done with lead. It is easier then foil. It gives more depth, and can be completely sealed. You do not want anything getting between the pieces including solder and especially flux as you cannot clean it once together. I first learned of this at the Mission Inn in the windows in the bar which have several plates. I have also used plating, metal fillagree I made like the original Tiffany lamp fillagree, and three dimensions including dragonflys flying over the glass and other three dimension tricks. I have some of the best glass made by the best of the glass makers after Tiffany like Oceana and custom Uroboros. Uroboros also made the best drapery glass and poked glass. If you ordered enough they would custom make what you wanted. I also had glass molds made so as to have real jewels like the originals. And since I had acid etching equipment I made caps and fillagree also. Great show. I learned a lot and the windows and lamps are stupifying.

    So conspiracy theory comes to art history too!!! The fact is Bouguereau was very popular until the early twentieth century when his work seemed anachronistic and old fashioned. The world was modernising. Artists were experimenting with ways of expressing that change and those artists became the ones most of the art world see as important. Bouguerau became a watchword for what was being rejected. But anyone who has read art criticism of the early 20th century knows that avant garde art, as it was known, was not fully embraced by art critics and the public until the 1930s. Art criticism remained divided on its merits even then. The art critics that backed it tend to be the ones we still remember today. Many of them were exceptional critics, some well versed in the renaissance traditions that Bouguereau sought to emulate. They merely felt modern life and modernity required a different kind of art. In the 1970s there began to be a revival of interest in academic art in line with a more detailed, broader and context specific account of painting and sculpture in the 19th century. Since then Bouguereau has become popularised, claimed on the far right as the true tradition of French painting, by anti-modernists, some of whose rhetoric echoes the early anti-semitic views of critics that saw modern art as a foreign and more specifically jewish influenced phenomenon, and by others who simply want a more pluralised and historically accurate account of 19th century art. It is good Bouguerau’s art is now being looked at and appreciated, but let’s not turn this into some conspiracy theory led account of the triumph of modern art. That is not history, it is nonsense.

When it’s a ‘black box’ you can accuse conspiracy without specific evidence. They don’t understand the concept of Burden Of Proof. If you assert conspiracy, YOU have the burden of proof. None given.

    Oswald requested to be interviewed by FBI in New Orleans because he was building a portfolio to create an accepted location for a Fair Play for Cuba group (which he was ultimately turned down by Taber’s group based in New York - letters from Oswald exist pleading for acceptance), and which he later used when trying to get into Cuba, taking the portfolio with him to prove he was advocating for Cuba. Being persecuted by the FBI for pro-Cuba causes would be a feather in his hat in this effort. He also acted alone in all these efforts, no evidence of any help.

    My family were all from Province of Torino, Piemonte (so far that I have found). Family Search has microfilms for a lot of those records. In the Allegati of the marriage of my great great grandparents it gave birth information for my great great grandfather including the number given to him as an Abandoned Infant in the City of Torino. I found his civil birth record. There is no parish information for the family because he was born in the Maternity Hospital in the city. I did find his name in the Liste di Leva and there are parts of that which have tables of information including references to his status which I believe states he was not eligible for the city list because he was living in the Canavese region. And something about a letter written by his father. I am taking a Beginner's Course in Italian online. I have found the marriage register for the marriage of his grandparents. They were married in the Parish of Sant'Agostino in 1788 in the city. Unfortunately Family Search does not have microfilms for the actual parish marriage records back that far. But I did find both the civil and parish death/burial record for his grandfather which gave HIS parents' names as Tommaso Guglielmino and Margherita Trombetta. That is the only record I can find for those names to date. The year of that death was 1829. The surname was originally Guglielmino in the city. When my great great grandfather was married and having children in the Canavese region the surname was Valeriano (his given birth first name). In America they changed it to Valerio. I found a death record for the relative of a distant cousin. He died in a mine accident in Colorado. Kind of amusing that after we found that I was searching through the Parte Due for his home town and they had his death record there the whole time. I thought initially that the Parte Due were like Appendixes for records already in Parte Primo and not completely different records altogether. Oops! ;-)

    I don’t think Morrison was a prolific songwriter, but he could make cover songs his own, like ‘Who do you Love’. They do this one on the Absolutely Live album and it’s just a real captivating version. I don’t think there is a singer that could scream and carry the tune the way Morrison could. Kreiger really came into his own by showing that he could write songs. Really interesting stuff. I bought Kreiger’s book, but haven’t picked it up yet. Will do so shortly, unless I die first, in my 70s. When you’re over 70 it’s all about heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s and so on and so forth. Ain’t got long to go, no.
