01.07 Feathers

 

English

A ‘theorem’ painting, ninteenth century, by an unknown (North American?) artist using stencil painting on velvet. 48 cm high by 37 cm wide.

This picture of feathers in a dragon decorated jar came from Julie Collino (see 87.04) in November 2001.Theorem stencil, sometimes also called theorem painting or velvet painting, is the art of making stencils and using them to make drawings or paintings on fabric or paper. A vogue for theorem stencil painting began in England at the turn of the 18th century and through the mid-1800s. The art was extensively taught to young women in academies and boarding schools throughout ex-colonial New England into the late nineteenth century and in many other places. The designs are traditionally painted on velvet. The stencils are multiple overlays and designs are always three-dimensional, primitive and stylized in nature. It was often referred to colloquially as "Poonah painting", because of its supposed origin in the Indian city of Pune.

Plumas

Una pintura de 'teorema', del siglo XIX, de un artista desconocido/a (¿norteamericano/a?) que usa pintura de stencil sobre terciopelo. Mide 48 cm de alto por 37 cm de ancho.

Esta imagen de plumas en un frasco decorado con un dragón la obtuvimos a través de Julie Collino (ver 87.04) en noviembre de 2001. La plantilla de teoremas, a veces también llamada pintura de teoremas o pintura de terciopelo, es el arte de hacer plantillas y usarlas para hacer dibujos o pinturas sobre tela o papel. La moda de la pintura con plantillas de teoremas comenzó en Inglaterra a principios del siglo XVIII hasta mediados del siglo XIX. Este arte se enseñó extensamente a mujeres jóvenes en academias e internados en toda la ex-colonia de Nueva Inglaterra hasta finales del siglo XIX y en muchos otros lugares. Los diseños se pintan tradicionalmente sobre terciopelo. Las plantillas son superposiciones múltiples y los diseños son siempre tridimensionales, primitivos y de naturaleza estilizada. A menudo se la denomina coloquialmente como "pintura de Poonah", debido a su supuesto origen en la ciudad india de Pune.
