Pioneers: Artists in the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, exhibition in Paris

 



From March 2 to July 10, 2022, the Museum of Luxembourg in Paris is presenting paintings, sculptures, photographs, films, textiles, and literary works that highlight the role of women in the development of modern artistic movements in the 1920s.


The pioneers include artists such as Tamara de Lempicka, Sonia Delaunay, Tarsila do Amaral, and Chana Orloff, born at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This is the time that women gained access to the great schools of art. During the 1920s, the roaring twenties, many of the artistic women stayed in Paris for a few weeks or a few years to “be seen” in the art sphere.


The new pioneering women were the first to be recognized as artists, and have their own studio, gallery, or publishing house. They led art workshops that drew and painted naked bodies, male and female. They dressed as they wished, expressed whatever sexuality they wanted to, and chose to marry or not. They had ownership of their studios, their professions, their lives, and their bodies.


The exhibition is curated by Camille Morineau, Curator of Heritage and Director of the Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions (AWARE), with associate curator art historian Lucia Pesapane. The exhibition is supported exclusively by CHANEL.

The acacia thorn trees of Kenya

The famous "whistling thorn tree" and the Umbrella Thorn tree of Kenya are species of acacia that do have thorns, or spines. Giraffes and other herbivores normally eat thorny acacia foliage, but leave the whistling thorn alone. Usually spines are no deterrent to giraffes. Their long tongues are adapted to strip the leaves from the branches despite the thorns. The thorny acacia like dry and hot conditions. The thorns typically occur in pairs and are 5-8 centimetres (2-3 inches) long. Spines can be straight or curved depending on the species.
