Happy Birthday to Anni Albers who was born on this day in 1899. Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile artist, designer, printmaker, and educator known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings and weavings.
Beginning in 1970, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly until 1980. This publication is a facsimile of her only known notebook which shows her working process.
The notebook follows Albers's deliberations and progression as a draftsman in their original form. It reveals the way she went about making complex patterns, exploring them piece by piece, line by line, in a visually dramatic and mysteriously beautiful series of geometric arrangements.

Laura Payne
who is a also a painter, has installation work on display with Sinéad Ludwig-Burgess at Okotoks Art Gallery through March 31. Of the work, Payne says she was influenced by “those subtle-but-vivid spectrums of colour in the cloudless sky at dawn or dusk, or the way that hot pink light in November hits the buildings in the city. What I guess I wanted to do is synthesize, artificially, this sort of…

For #InternationalWomensDay + #WomensHistoryMonth: Marianne North is almost always labeled a botanical artist, but 121 of her Kew Gardens paintings also feature animals, like this one:
Marianne North (English, 1830-1890)
Foliage, Flowers and Fruit of a Queensland Tree, and Black Cockatoo c. 1880-1
painting, oil on board
H 50.9 x W 35.4 cm
Kew Gardens Marianne North Gallery [MN790]
PS - This bird is misidentified on the Kew Gardens website as a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii), but it's actually a Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Zanda funerea) - the yellow cheek patch distinguishes it as the latter:
You can view all of Marianne North's paintings with animals in them here:
Bonus: Here's an actual Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (male) by Eileen Mayo, from her poster series made for the Australian National Travel Association in the 1950s. Fun wordplay here too - the bird's scientific name is Calyptorhynchus banksii and she placed it on a Banksia plant. :)
Eileen Mayo (1906-1994)
AUSTRALIA / COCKATOO & BANKSIA
c. 1955-7
poster, 39 3/4x25 inches, 101x63 1/2 cm.
Australian National Travel Association

This month during Women’s History Month, we are honoring many trailblazing women artists.
Palestinian American artist, scholar, and art historian, Samia Halaby (b. 1936) is known for her vibrant abstract work. Halaby was eleven years old when she and her family were displaced from Palestine to Lebanon in 1948. In 1951, Halaby emigrated to Ohio in the United States. She was educated in the American Midwest and became a trailblazer when there were few female abstract painters. In her work, Halaby draws inspiration from her homeland—the textures and landscapes of Palestine such as native trees and Islamic architecture and geometry.
