Florine Stettheimer
Visual Artist
1871 – 1944
Who was Florine Stettheimer?
Florine Stettheimer was an American painter, designer, and poet.
Eccentric, private, and withdrawn, Stettheimer protected her lyrical canvases and painterly poems from the vicissitudes of the open and competitive market place. 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 became the setting for displaying her own whimsical artwork and for circulating her witty poems. A book of Stettheimer's poetry, entitled Crystal Flowers, was published privately and posthumously by her sister, Ettie Stettheimer, in 1949; it was reissued to acclaim in 2010.
