A golden, sun-shaped object with a soft, fluffy, pillow-like center and spiky points radiating outward, resembling a small sun or a cluster of mini suns fused together.
Spiky outside, soft inside, sun-like—no idea what this is! Cincinnati Art Museum.

Painted in Cincinnati around 1882 before American artist Elizabeth Nourse’s move to Paris, this intimate study reveals her early realist approach utilizing natural light, unidealized features, and empathetic attention to an ordinary sitter. A young girl is shown in left profile against a warm brown ground. Her skin is medium-brown and warmly lit as highlights trace the bridge of her nose, the round of her cheekbone, and the soft curve of her lower lip. Dark, wavy hair gathers low at the nape, with a faint reddish ribbon near the crown. She wears a slate-blue bodice fastened by four small metal buttons beneath a darker jacket. Her shoulders are turned gently while level head and gaze are directed beyond the frame. Smooth, careful blending models the face even as looser strokes in clothing and background create quiet chiaroscuro and depth. Trained at the McMicken School of Design (now the Art Academy of Cincinnati), Nourse settled in Paris in 1887, entered the Salon soon after, and built a career portraying women and working families with dignity rather than sentimentality. Contemporary observers noted, “No American woman artist in Paris stands so high today.” The Cincinnati Art Museum, which now holds the largest collection of her work, received this canvas in 1924 as a gift from Harley I. Procter.

In “The Red I,” American artist Whitfield Lovell merges portraiture and found object to evoke memory and ancestry, a hallmark of his conceptual tableaux that blend drawing, assemblage, and the poetics of history. Beginning in the late 1990s, he developed these stand-alone scenes that are almost ghostly yet grounded and inspired by vintage photographs of unnamed African Americans whose stories were never recorded. His process reanimates these lives, freeing them from prescribed narratives while allowing presence to emerge from silence. A dark-skinned young woman gazes slighyly to our left, her thoughtful eyes avoiding direct contact with us. Lovell renders her in soft black conté lines against a vivid red paper background, her 19th-century attire detailed with high-necked, long sleeves, and three rows of buttons that trace the bodice’s form. A large rose blooms at her chest; her right arm crosses her waist holding a sprig of leaves and a flower. Her hair is swept into an elegant updo while delicate dangle earrings catch light against her cheek. The drawing, measuring nearly four feet tall, rests within a deep black frame lined in darker red. At its lower left edge, a small circular black vase with neck narrow and mouth flared protrudes from the composition, bridging the world of the viewer and the drawn figure through shadow and reflection. The “Reds” series, to which this piece belongs, explores emotional intensity and remembrance through color and ritual object. The artist combines charcoal drawings of individuals with found objects that extend into the viewer’s space. Many feature exquisite, highly finished figures who appear as if emerging organically from the surface. The found vase acts as both vessel and offering like an echo of mourning, devotion, and endurance. Lovell has described his works as “visual poems” that “summon spirits from the past,” inviting us to contemplate how identity, loss, and love persist across generations, even if names are forgotten.

In “The Harp of Erin,” the female figure is a personification that carries a political message. The young woman, wearing shamrocks in her hair and a green scarf, symbolizes Ireland. She is chained to a large rock that represents England. The title reinforces the artist’s meaning, as the harp is Ireland’s national symbol and Erin its ancient name. During the 19th century, widespread famine and England’s political oppression caused large-scale immigration of the Irish to the United States. By 1851, the Irish were the second largest immigrant community in Cincinnati (where this painting is on display), representing 12 percent of the population. (The German community represented 28 percent.) The plight of the Irish deeply concerned politically aware Americans. Both a poet and a painter, Thomas Buchanan Read was born in Pennsylvania and came to Cincinnati when he was 15. Although he spent much of his life elsewhere, he always considered the Queen City home and painted this work while in residence in the Ohio city. Read uses breathtaking hues of greens, blues, and tans to show a woman standing almost in the ocean on a piece of sea rock. The womans stern, yet passive expression leaves the viewer breathless as her beauty over takes the painting. The painting is organized with the woman leaning into the ocean just enough to get the tip of her toe wet from the salt water and crashing waves around her. The focus favors the right side of the painting, yet the balance of the background waves and dark hues helps the piece tie together. The scale of the painting allows us to focus on the almost giant figure in the foreground. With the scale used , we see only the woman and the rock leaving only dark stormy skies in the background and rough, rocky waves to correspond with the stormy scene. Read uses a variety of shades of blue to help highlight the face of the woman. The shading brings a sense of unity to the painting allowing it to flow with consistancy.

German-born American artist Henry Mosler’s “The Quadroon Girl” depicts a Black woman with a lighter complexion posed in front of a pale gray background. She is turned slightly to the right and does not face the viewer. The woman has long black wavy hair that is parted in the middle and reaches down her back. Her face tilts to the right and is downturned. She appears to have a downcast expression on her face. A dangling gold earring peaks out from her hair. She is wearing a white garment wrapped around her chest; her shoulders are bare. She holds the fabric in place with bent arms and her hands cross over her chest. On her right wrist is a black manacle with a dangling chain. Her left elbow rests on a little-defined russet-colored piece of furniture. At the Paris Salon of 1878, this painting appeared alongside the following stanza of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1842 abolitionist poem, The Quadroon Girl: Her eyes were large, and full of light, Her arms and neck were bare; No garment she wore save a kirtle bright, And her own long, raven hair. A quadroon was a demeaning term for a person of one-quarter African descent and three-quarters white Euro-American. Longfellow’s poem, which tells the story of a Southern plantation owner who sold his own mixed-race daughter into bondage, expresses the cruel inhumanity of enslavement. Although we may surmise that Mosler opposed slavery, he was not a political artist. Literary themes were in vogue with the juries of the Salon, to whom he successfully presented this painting. To likely satisfy the taste of the privileged white male elite art establishment, he produced a romanticized and sensual portrait of Longfellow’s tragic heroine.

May my city be a safe haven full of diversity, creativity, and bonds of affection. Grant us protection and good fortune. Show kindness with rain from heaven. Or give us cheerfulness in adversity. When we feel hopeless, let us not be heartless. #artinbloom #cincinnatiartmuseum #floralartist #florist
A painting of a girl in pink tones. She is inspired by a sculpture in the Cincinnati Art Museum "The Artist's Daughter, Nora, as 'The Infant Psyche'" by Randolph Rogers. A bright green butterfly gently sits on her shoulder.
Psyche was a Greek mortal who fell in love with Cupid, the god of love. I painted this after being inspired by a sculpture by Randolph Rogers at @cincyartmuseum.

A woman stares at us while sitting in profile smoking a pipe. She is wears a simple off-the-shoulder white top with beaded bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hair, and scarf. Meakin was a local Cincinnati painter trained in Munich, Germany; he remained in Cincinnati. He became the city's foremost landscape painter, a founder of the Society of Western Artists, and a curator at the Cincinnati Art Museum. He was also an instructor at the Cincinnati Art Academy for thirty years.
