Does anyone have a work-around for all Gallica direct links now being blocked (I presume to stop bots)? I have SO MANY saved links and stupidly didn't always note down the full citation. So now I have all these links to "evidence" that don't work. 🫠

I also added a ban to my syllabus but haven’t actually seen them in the classroom before. Figured I’d get ahead of it.

Love to hear Francesca Berry questioning the default binary arguments around domesticity and women--ignoring that men also inhabited the domestic, and that some women most famous for their domestic work have much work that is not that.

De Young shows the Parisienne as a role that was performed and heavily judged, used to describe a host of imagined, idealized, and criticized women--racialized structures were used as tourist draws, and these types didn't reflect but also shaped culture.

It’s so laughable as the foundation for good scholarship is research and AI is hallucinating its sources a large fraction of the time.

Right Manet told her not to. I’m just saying that she was the only woman invited. It’s not that other women refused or didn’t have the courage.

Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Why is this Stolen art? Also the emphasis here is wrong. Morisot was the only woman *invited* to participate until 1879 when Degas invited Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt.

My biggest teaching surprise of the Fall is that while I'm fine with teaching a 2-5pm class, I absolutely despise teaching a 3-6pm class. It doesn't seem like one hour should matter that much, but it does. I will never do it again if I can help it. 😅

If you don’t have color images, then I think that’s stranger, but I haven’t tried to publish a book like that so I don’t really know.

This feels normal to me if you're going to have color images.

I’m doing a blend of the above. Free writing on readings, required collaborative annotations on the readings via Adobe Acrobat Cloud, and reading quizzes. I think I’m just going to do weekly comments and quizzes next semester for consistency.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Last week a German journalist contacted me after finding my book at MoMA, so I of course had to go see it there for myself! ❤️ My first time seeing it in a bookstore! Very exciting. 😍 Anyone who goes to see the Sargent show at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, please snap a pic of my book in that shop. 🙏

The research I’m presenting is not yet published anywhere, but on Abbéma’s self-fashioning, you could see Miranda Mason’s dissertation on Bernhardt’s sculpture. On Abbéma generally there’s a brief biography by Denise Gellini and a MA thesis by Tristan Cordeil, which are the easiest sources to access

Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Yeah it’s one of the reasons her work is so dispersed as there was no family to look after it or publicize it after she died like the families of other Impressionists did.

So do I! Her sketches in her letters are such fun.

Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

There is tremendous diversity in her portraiture. It was one of her specialties. But she did paint several women quite often (in the other cases I know they were close friends), so I'm intrigued by who this woman might be. They're definitely not self-portraits; here's a self-portrait:

Abbéma self-portrait. Dark brown hair, cropped bangs. Gray dress with black bow and white collar.

Her parents were also only children. She didn't have any cousins beyond some very distant ones in other countries. The last painting I posted is of a neighbor.

Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

One of the few things I can say for sure is that it’s not the artist’s family as she was an only child.

I'm virtually positive the 2 women on the left are the same and the 2 women on the right (boater/red hat) are the same, but do we think they're all the same woman? What about the 2 blondes? I think they're the same, but are they yet a 3rd woman? These are all paintings by Louise Abbéma. #arthistory

Blonde woman with bangs with her hair up in pink bodiced dress, red flowers in hair and at her chest. The same woman drinking tea in a purple blouse. Curly hair.
