(Thread) In the mid-19th century, occupational portraits took the use of supplemental objects to a new level. Subjects indicated their occupation or trade through the items in hand and the clothes they wore.

Blanche Monnier was a woman from Poitiers, Vienne, France, who was secretly kept locked in a small room by her aristocratic mother for 25 years.

She was eventually found by police, then middle-aged and in an emaciated and filthy condition.
Blanche Monnier, shortly after being discovered in her locked room in 1901.
Monnier was a French socialite from a well-respected, conservative bourgeoisie family. She was renowned for her physical beauty and attracted many potential suitors for marriage.

In 1874, at the age of 25, she desired to marry an older lawyer who was not to her mother's liking.

🇧🇷 Quero agradecer a todos por tantas mensagens de carinho após a entrevista no Conversa de ontem. Um trabalho como o meu requer horas de isolamento em um universo particular, o que dificulta o meu entendimento e percepção do alcance que tenho hoje.

Ter tanta gente disposta a receber minha arte e, quem sabe, aprender um pouco com o conteúdo que tenho a compartilhar, é uma sorte imensurável. Mais ainda, poder usar esse alcance para falar de algo tão visceral e particular quanto o meu diagnóstico é uma sorte ainda maior...
... e por isso quero agradecer ao @PBiaL e a @appel_camila pelo espaço que recebi para falar do assunto. Sei o quanto é importante encontrar pessoas de referência para seguir diante de um mundo de desinformações.
