Jay DeFeo - The Rose (1958-69)

“The story of Jay DeFeo and The Rose is both a cautionary tale of obsession and an inspiring tale of determination and belief. She began working on The Rose in 1958. She was 29 years old and for the next eight years, she did little else but sit on a stool in her studio, smoking cigarettes, drinking brandy while she painted and scraped away at her vision.

First titled The Deathrose, then The White Rose and finally just The Rose, DeFeo only stopped working on the painting when an increase in rent forced her from her studio. By then it was 1966, her marriage was ending, she was in fragile physical and mental health, and The Rose had become too large to fit out the door.

At nearly 12 feet high and in places eight inches thick, The Rose was constructed from layer upon layer of built up and scraped away black and white paint. DeFeo added mica chips to the paint and so The Rose has its own interior light.”

mumimafeminist:

Feminism has taken its own form online, this is not to say that feminist protests are nonexistent today, or that either is more powerful than the other. But rather that there has been a change in the feminist community where it has been residing on online spaces, such as tumblr, or twitter. The option to organize and exist online hadn’t been available when the feminist movement started, but in ways can be better (or worse) than protests.

“Feminism online is entirely normalized. It’s pervasive. A generation of young women are growing up with feminism as the default in women’s online spaces, and explicitly feminist blogs and communities at their fingertips.” (x)
