Dr. Justine De Young

I can't wait!

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.

The Art of Parisian Chic Using artworks by Berthe Morisot, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others, The Art of Parisian Chic explores how women and artists in Imp…

AI Slop Is Spurring Record Requests for Imaginary Journals The International Committee of the Red Cross warned that artificial intelligence models are making up research papers, journals and archives

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

9 Impressionist Paintings Recovered in Corsica (Published 1990)

I didn’t realize it had been stolen, but they recovered it shortly after as I’ve seen it at the museum. Recovered in 1990: www.nytimes.com/1990/12/07/a...

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.

No.

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.

😬 WTF

I'm amused at the thought that Lincoln's original bathroom was floor-to-ceiling marble.

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.

Can you link to it? Thanks!

We have some of the highest rainfall levels in the UK here on #Dartmoor in the South West. Waterproofs form a necessary and frequent part of the wardrobe, but they are nothing new. Here two #1860s gals braving the elements in proofed rain mantles. It’s only weather #FIDMMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

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. 🙏

What collection is it in/where did you find it?

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

Public Selves, Private Lives: Lesbian Self-Fashioning in Louise Abbéma’s Portraiture by Justine De Young.

A small black dog eats off a plate on the ground. The divan is covered with a red oriental carpet and leopard skin. An older man stands behind the table with his hand in his pocket.

Thrilled to be presenting my newest research on Louise Abbéma and lesbian self-fashioning in Belle-Epoque Paris at the Feminist Art History Conference in DC on Sunday. #arthistory 🗃️

I'll be presenting in-person on the 28th!
