Another exhibition, another talented American artist provides us with the city of new York. Jewish Museum invites to visit the exhibition Stettheimer Florine (1871-1944). Over the last 20 years, this is the first major exhibition of such an extraordinary artist.
Born into a wealthy Jewish family in Rochester, Stettheimer studied at the art students League artists in new York and then to Europe, where she was deeply influenced by the artists of the symbolist poets and Russian ballet.
In 1916 in the new York Gallery Knodlerom Company and held her first solo exhibition. Unfortunately, she had no great success – of the 12 paintings no one failed to sell. Therefore, Stettheimer decided solo exhibitions no longer to arrange.
