We will dive into the overtly feminine style of early American modernist painter Florine Stettheimer and her fantastical portrait of her mother and sisters in the 1919 work, oil on canvas, “Heat.”

Please visit the Brooklyn Museum to learn more about Stettheimer at www.brooklynmuseum.org. I want to acknowledge writer and art historian Barbara J. Bloemink, whose seminal writings on Stettheimer provided wonderful resources in preparation for this podcast episode.
