Truly educational! I have read the question, "How many women painters can you name?" You are providing us with plenty more to discover and appreciate. Sincere thanks!E.

But the link you've provided brought me to a museum I've already enjoyed, in Washington DC. What's up with that?<br /><br />So pleased to see more exposure for women artists in so many venues. There's a wonderful show on now at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts in Quebec City of Berthe Morisot. Ending September 23, then traveling to the Barnes, to the Dallas Museum of Art, and to the Musée d'Orsay.Heather Dubreuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626475036351705686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-45610012457556107832018-07-29T06:04:52.429-04:002018-07-29T06:04:52.429-04:00I remember having the pleasure of walking with Jus...I remember having the pleasure of walking with Justin Gerard through the National Museum here in Stockholm, and we stopped in in front of one of my favourites, "Breakfast-Time" by Hanna Pauli. We just grooved on it for a while, and then Justin grinned and said, "Hey, you know who would love this?

If you look very closely at the front of their horns you will see one style of what is called a head yoke. These are used in conjunction with what are called tug poles that are connected with chains. These tug poles and chains are more clearly seen in the painting. The purpose of the style of yoke we're more familiar with is to force a pair of oxen to work in unison as well as to allow them to exert pulling force.Rich Polinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599291766911708739noreply@blogger.com
