Modern Art Monday Presents: Fernand Leger, Three Women

In this monumental canvas that Fernand Leger worked on from 1921–22, three seemingly self-possessed women, flanked by a black cat, lounge in an interior decorated with modern furnishings. Their bodies – modeled so that they seem to reflect the light – appear as metallic as the stylized furniture that surrounds them. Leger orchestrated the interlocking components of this busy composition as if it were a machine, imparting an industrial sensibility into the domestic sphere.

Artist Drea Cofield found out the hard way that the morality police behind social media platforms run by Meta can be wildly arbitrary and merciless. While working on pieces for her 2023 solo exhibit at Galleri Urbane in Dallas — just a few weeks before the show was set to open– Cofield’s Instagram account was shut down immediately after promoting the exhibition. Entitled Send Nudes, the exhibit showcases paintings of selfies sent to the artist by consenting adults who understand how their images will be used. Instagram wasn’t hearing it.

Modern Art Monday Presents: Inseparable Friends By Morris Hirshfield

Morris Hirshfield (1872 – 1946) began to paint at the age of 65, after retiring from a career making women’s coats, suits and slippers. The flattened, decorative forms of Inseparable Friends (1941) echo his garment-making work. Without distinguishing between the floor and the wall, Hirshfield creates a room through thee planes of shapes and patterns: the women at their mirror, the tasseled curtain above them, and the plant and shoes at their feet. While Hirshfield’s compositions are simplified and stylized, he aimed for meticulous, realistic detail and believed that his figures represented the human body “better than the camera can do.”
