Untitled Composition
Judith Rothschild
Judith Rothschild’s artistic journey was marked by experimentation and evolution. Gaining success as a young artist in New York in the 1940s, she moved through styles and subjects, informed by the cultural milieu that surrounded her. A part of the group of radical abstract artists known as the Jane Street Artists, she was involved in a proto-abstract expressionism, exploring emotional states through colour and non-figurative form. Yet, Rothschild, rather out of fashion, burned a flame for Cubism and Piet Mondrian especially was her most constant source of inspiration as she matured. She moved away from biomorphic forms and gestural brush work into compositional explorations that brought order and feeling to simple colors and organisations. Throughout her life she collected artworks by those who inspired her and, since her death, has become more known for her post-mortem philanthropy, her estate selling the works she accumulated to support lesser-known artists, of which she considered herself one.
Wednesday 5th August
Today, the Moon rises in the constellation of Aries, bringing the warmth and vitality of the fire element. In the biodynamic garden, this is an excellent time to tend fruiting plants, including tomatoes, zucchini, beans, peppers and cucumbers. Give these plants your attention today: harvest ripe fruits, remove tired leaves, provide support where needed, and encourage healthy growth. Beyond the garden, Aries encourages initiative, courage and purposeful action. It can be a good day to begin something you have been postponing, make a clear decision, exercise, spend time outdoors, or put fresh energy into a personal project. Try to direct this fiery momentum constructively, while avoiding unnecessary impatience or conflict.
