Village Girl
Viktor Ostapenko, 2009
Like many of the other artists who have posted work on artnow.ru, Ostapenko posts interpretive/practise work that was done based on that of other artists. I'm giving as full credit to both artists as I know about!

Telephone II

Tamara de Lempicka has a great life-story, moving from Poland/Soviet Union out to Europe and then America, cultivating affairs with a wide number of people, and creating a large number of sensual art-deco pictures of women from her elite social circles in Europe.
Long Live May 1st
Да здравствует пролетарский праздник 1-ое Мая!

Широкое развертывание сети яслей детских садов столовых и прачешных обеспечит участие женщины социалистическои строительстве
The wide deployment of the network of nurseries, kindergartens, canteens and [?] will ensure the participation of women in socialist construction!

Full translation here:
Женщины! Изучайте производство, заменяйте рабочих, ушедших на фронт! Чем крепче тыл -- тем крепче фронт!
Women! Learn production, replace the workers who went to the front! The stronger the rear -- the stronger the front!
We Do Like Cotton...
B. Lebesev, 1936
I have no idea what language this is. Ideas?
Selling the Fruits
Xie Mulian, 1978
I have never been so cheerful about selling stuff. Anyhow, more socialist pictures from the International Institute of SocialHistory.
Proud of Participating in Industrialization
Ning Hao, 1954
American Imperialism Must be Beaten

Lullaby

Bloom, our May!
N. Vatolina, 1951
Note the pennant that says 1st of May on it, as well as the parades in the street, the building projects, and the glowing mother and baby at leisure. Classic Soviet poster.
Woman With Dog
Louis Bouche, 1920
Also a great one up close. Plus, her face -- what expression is that? And the dog/cat? Also quite content/bored...
Woman Shelling Peas
Emily Clayton Bishop, 1911
Great sculpture, and at least from this angle, great expression on her face!
Woman in Red Dress at Piano
Steve Ashby, 1973
Little wooden cut-out! Gotta love it.
Taos Indian Woman
Kenneth M. Adams, 1920s
The colors are beautiful, although I don't like how he erases/ she doesn't display much affect... I guess that's what happens when you paint someone as a generic ethnic term?
Woman Ironing
Werner Drewes, 20th century
Again, this seems to be a woodcut, and it's lovely from both near and far away. The shading on her dress is especially eye-drawing.
ss
Spanish Woman Playing Guitar
Jan Matulka, 1923
If you're reading this directly on the website, right-click the photo for a close-up.... the shading is just beautiful!
Hedipa, a Navajo Woman
John K. Hillers, 1880
Okay, okay, I said I don't do photographs, but I'm totally cheating. One, because I love her expression, and two, because I recently lived in a Navajo community for a few months, and she reminds me of some of hte women I got to know there!
Seminole Woman
George Catlin, 1838
This picture is from a further distance than most of Catlin's portrait, and that plus her reserve/discomfort makes it quite different in feeling than his other works...
Oó-je-en-á-he-a
George Catlin, 1832
Unlike many women in portaits of this era, I love Oó-je-en-á-he-a because she has color and personality!
