Florine Stettheimer

Florine Stettheimer (August 29, 1871 – May 11, 1944) was an American painter, designer, and poet.

Stettheimer preferred to restrict showing her work to a more private audience as opposed to exhibiting publicly. With her sisters, Carrie and Ettie, she hosted a salon for modernists in Manhattan, which included Marcel Duchamp, Henry McBride, and Georgia O'Keeffe, and she confined most exhibitions of her own work to these gatherings; occasionally Florine also submitted work to the Society of Independent Artists. Florine also shared original poems in her salons, and a book of her work, entitled Crystal Flowers, was published privately and posthumously by her sister, Ettie Stettheimer, in 1949; it was reissued to acclaim in 2010.

Early life

Florine was born in Rochester, New York to Rosetta Walter and Joseph Stettheimer, a family of wealthy German-Jewish ancestry. Her father, a banker, left the family before the children were grown. She was the fourth of five children: Walter, Stella, Carrie, Florine, and Ettie. After Walter and Stella married, the three youngest children were raised in a close relationship with their mother, who adopted an epicurean way of life. She spent much of her early life traveling, studying art in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Switzerland.

The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.

The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute.
