Abstract Details

2006, MA, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Art History.
American Impressionist Frederick Carl Frieseke (1874–1939) lived and worked in France for approximately forty years and achieved international success with his paintings of women in domestic interiors and gardens. In this thesis I examine three themes in Frieseke’s oeuvre – women at rest, women reflected in mirrors, and the female nude – and explore how his reception in both the French and American art markets influenced his work. I decode the pictorial meanings in these images and demonstrate how they document and construct notions of womanhood around the turn of the twentieth century. This thesis contributes to the ongoing scholarly discussion of images of women in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art. The study also augments current scholarship on Frieseke, placing his paintings of women within a socio-historical context.
