Given the dimension an artists’ story adds to the value of their work, Emma shows us the range of materials that can be found for creators in any family tree by walking us through the talent in hers.
As I fixed a simple supper (and try to regain my health), I listened with interest to Emma Cox's research of artists in her talented family tree.
We don't have illustrious ancestors listed in Wikipedia or works displayed in the Tate or auctioned at Sotheby's & Christie's. Still, our family enjoys Great-Aunt Ruthie Longenecker's oil paintings on our walls. My own artist in residence has amply illustrated my books and continues to do so in my WordPress and Substack blog posts. Great presentation: Thank you, Barbara and Emma!
And those are the pictures that touch your soul, aren’t they? Thank you so much for sharing. Art takes many forms. As we discussed toward the end of Emma’s program, it can take a generation or two to truly appreciate the work of an ancestor.
Those beautiful fairies and surreal paintings were so fascinating to see!
Right? I was struck by the ways in which artists’ lives are documented and how that parallels with genealogical stories for mere mortals.
