スミソニアン博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (スミソニアン博物館Instagram)「Alma Thomas spent 38 years as a D.C. public school art teacher before her painting career took off. Thomas is regarded as a key figure of the Washington Color Field School of paintings, with her signature abstract and colorful work inspired by nature. From her window, she enjoyed watching the changing patterns that light created on her trees and flower garden, and her titles often reflect the influence of flowers and natural order. But for generations of D.C. residents, she was known as "Miss Thomas." In 1972, in her 80s, she was the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at the @whitneymuseum. Thomas' paintings are in our @hirshhorn and @americanart. This photo of Thomas in her studio—taken by Ida Jervis around 1968—is in our @archivesamerart, which recently digitized their collection of Thomas' papers. ✨ Discover more women who changed the nation at womenshistory.si.edu. #BecauseOfHerStory #5WomenArtists」3月15日 7時18分
