Were late nineteenth-century gender boundaries as restrictive as is
generally held? In Redefining Gender in American Impressionist
Studio Paintings: Work Place/Domestic Space, Kirstin Ringelberg
argues that it is time to bring the current re-evaluation of the
notion of separate spheres to these images. Focusing on studio
paintings by American artists William Merritt Chase and Mary
Fairchild MacMonnies Low, she explores how the home-based painting
studio existed outside of entrenched gendered divisions of public
and private space and argues that representations of these studios
are at odds with standard perceptions of the images, their
creators, and the concept of gender in the nineteenth century.
Unlike most of their bourgeois contemporaries, Gilded Age artists,
whether male or female, often melded the worlds of work and home.
Through analysis of both paintings and literature of the time,
Ringelberg reveals how art history continues to support a false
dichotomy; that, in fact, paintings that show women negotiating a
complex combination of professionalism and domesticity are still
overlooked in favor of those that emphasize women as decorative
objects. Redefining Gender in American Impressionist Studio
Paintings challenges the dominant interpretation of American (and
European) Impressionism, and considers both men and women artists
as active performers of multivalent identities.
