Portrait (Mrs Sum) by Georgette Chen (Singaporean) - Oil on canvas / 1972 - National Gallery Singapore #womeninart #art #womanartist #portrait #femaleartist #oilpainting #singaporeanart #fineart #womensart #GeorgetteChen #artwork #museumart #portraitofawoman #NationalGallerySingapore #asianartist

Mrs. Sum calmly, yet intently stares straight ahead while avoiding our gaze. Her dark brown, shoulder-length, almost greying hair is styled in a slightly wavy bob which frames her olive skin face accentuated by small pearl earrings and the mature beauty of her dark almond eyes, slightly bent nose, and light-pink lips.

She is wearing a long-sleeved dress in a vibrant mandarin gold color, adorned with a repeating floral pattern in shades of fuchsia, crimson, jade, and lavender. The pattern is detailed and reminiscent of batik or similar Asian textile art. She is wearing a green and silver band on her ring finger of her left hand that rests atop the wrist of her right hand which holds a small, golden clutch in her lap. She sits in a comfortable wooden chair with a forest green drape over the right armrest in front of a muted celadon green background.

World traveler and artist Georgette Chen (born 张荔英 Chang Li Ying in Zhejiang, China in 1906) was a pioneer of modern Singaporean art and the regional Nanyang style. All of her signed works bear the name ‘Chen,’ which was an adaptation of her chosen nom de plume.

In the art community, she is frequently hailed for her still lifes, self-portraits, and portraits of other women in Asia where the undervaluing and marginalizing of women’s art was a result of women’s limited access to educational opportunities and art training. In 1982, Chen was awarded the Cultural Medallion for her contributions to the visual arts in Singapore.

鼓 Tsuzumi (Hand Drum) by 中村大三郎 Nakamura Daizaburō (Japanese) - Ink & color on silk hanging scroll / c. 1920-1924 - Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) #womeninart #art #japaneseart #鼓 #drum #NakamuraDaizaburō #中村大三郎 #met #themet #NakamuraDaizaburo #掛軸 #scrollart #painting #artwork #japaneseartist

A young apprentice geisha (maiko) with straight black hair parted in the middle and face-length side bangs which indicate movement or dancing looks down to her left while wearing a light peach silk kimono with a few floral patterns and fire red collar. She has placed a small tsuzumi (or kotsuzumi) on her right shoulder.

This handheld drum consists of a lacquered wooden body shaped like an hourglass and features two drumheads with cords that can be squeezed or released to allow the player to raise or lower the pitch while playing. Such hand drums are used in Noh, dance music (nagauta), off-stage Kabuki theater music (geza), and in traditional folk music performed by maiko and geisha.

Nakamura Daizaburō titled this work Tsuzumi (Hand Drum)—inscribed in kana calligraphy on the storage box. In doing so, he followed a convention established by Japanese modern artists of titling a work after a distinctive object in a painting rather than by referring to its human subject.

He was the oldest son of a kimono dyer and established his fame in the early 1920s, creating numerous paintings of idealized young women. His training in the family textile dyeing business allowed his works to accurately capture the latest fashions of the day. Later in the 1920s, he would expand his repertory to create larger format genre scenes.
