Still Life with Anemones
Edith Longstreth WoodAmerican, 1885 - 1967
A glass vase sits atop a November 1932 issue of Vogue. One of the editorials in the magazine rhetorically asked budgeting Depression-era readers which they would rather own: a radio or flowers. Philadelphia artist Edith Longstreth Wood chose anemones. The enigmatic background of this painting reveals Wood’s modernist inclinations, shared with her contemporary at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Arthur B. Carles.
