Artist, Jennifer Coates is back for Part 3 in our series about finding artistic resilience through research! This time we look at these artists and how they adapted to their own gloomy times of foreboding:

Kay Sage: Found a way to paint even though she was a victim of domestic violence and ignored by the art world, and used her money to help Surrealist artists flee Germany and France before WWII

Grete Stern: Sneakily slipped in feminist art into a fluffy women's magazine under the Peronist regime

Jacob Lawrence: Illustrated injustices and acts of racism not covered by the history books

Frederic Edwin Church: Painted an emblem that many thought symbolized the coming Civil War

Works mentioned:

Kay Sage works: "This Morning" 1939, "China Eggs" Autobiography, "I Saw Three Cities" 1944, "A Bird in the Room" 1955, "Destiny" a poem

Grete Stern works: "Los Sueños: Muñecos (Dreams: The Doll)" 1949 for Idilio Magazine (Argentina)

Jacob Lawrence works: "The Life of Toussaint Louverture," "Migration" and "Struggle" Series

Frederic Edwin Church works: "Meteor" 1860, with writers/poets: Herman Melville's "The Portent" 1859, Walt Whitman's "Year of Meteors" 1860 and "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" 1856 (both "Leaves of Grass")

Other artists mentioned: André Breton, Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca
