However, unlike John, who trained in Florence and Paris, Emily stayed with her family.After her father’s death in 1889, she continued travelling as a companion to her mother in Southern Europe, the Near-East and North Africa.

She established the main lines of her composition and perspective in pencil before applying broad washes of watercolour.</p>\n<p>The grouping also reflects the peripatetic life of Emily and her family as American expatriates. Born in Rome in 1857, she moved across Europe through her youth and developed a strong bond with her siblings John and Violet. Their mother was an avid sketcher who encouraged her three surviving children to record their travels in pencils or watercolours. However, unlike John, who trained in Florence and Paris, Emily stayed with her family.After her father’s death in 1889, she continued travelling as a companion to her mother in Southern Europe, the Near-East and North Africa. She received some training from American artist Julius Rolshoven and from Charles Wellington Furse after she and her mother took up a house in Cheyne Walk, London, in 1892.</p>\n<p>The selection of these works reflects Sargent’s increased output around 1900. She continued travelling with her mother until the latter’s death in 1908, and also accompanied her brother during his travels. Her itinerant lifestyle provided her with a constant source of new subjects for landscapes and cityscapes, and she reportedly continued producing watercolours until her death in Zurich in 1936. However, no works from the last decade of her life have yet been identified.</p>\n<p>Caroline Corbeau-Parsons<br/>October 2020<br/>\n<b>Further reading</b>\n<br/>John Singer Sargent archive, Museum of Fine Art, Boston.<br/>Stanley Olson, <i>John Singer Sargent, his Portrait</i>, New York 1986.</p>\n</div>\n", "display_name": "Summary", "publication_date": "2023-12-08T00:00:00", "slug_name": "summary", "type": "SHORT_TEXT" } ]

It takes the form of montage and split-screen movement of images between period drama, footage of activist history and scenes of contemporary New York, and tells the story of Mary Jones (born in 1803), a Black trans woman who lived in the nineteenth century. She was an outlaw and sex-worker living in the free Black community Seneca Village (formerly located between 82nd and 89th street) in the 1830s who was imprisoned for stealing a man’s wallet. The film takes the form of a folk tale or fable to address racism and transphobia.</p>\n<p>At the outset of <i>Salacia</i>, there is no dialogue for nearly three minutes. The first words in the film are from the Black folk tale book <i>The People Could Fly</i> (1985) by Virginia Hamilton: ‘They say the people could fly. That long ago in Africa, some of the people knew magic. They would walk up on the air like climbing up on a gate. They flew like blackbirds over the fields. Black shiny wings flapping against the blue up there.’ These were stories that, Tourmaline has said, ‘raised her’ and had ‘a huge effect’ on her growing up (in a tweet dated 24 April 2019, Twitter.com, and in Maxine Wally, ‘Tourmaline Reflects on the Power and Possibility of Black Art, <i>W Magazine</i>, 25 June 2020, <a href=\"https://www.wmagazine.com/story/tourmaline-filmmaker-salacia-moma-permanent-collection-keanu-reeves/\">https://www.wmagazine.com/story/tourmaline-filmmaker-salacia-moma-permanent-collection-keanu-reeves/</a>, accessed 23 October 2020).</p>\n<p>Tourmaline is interested in bringing the erased histories of trans people to light. <i>Salacia</i> is inspired by the manner in which Jones made, according to the artist, ‘a way out of no way’ (in <a href=\"https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/360\">Thomas J. Lax</a>, ‘Anything We Want to Be: Tourmaline’s <i>Salacia</i>;<br/>The artist’s film imagines riotous transwomen across history’, 25 June 2020, <a href=\"https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/360\">https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/360</a>, accessed 12 November 2020), and itself appears as a kind of transformational ‘spell’ invested with magic. The central character appears full frame as she repeats the line at the end, ‘we can be anything we want to be’.</p>\n<p>Tourmaline is known for her work in transgender activism and economic justice, as well as on prison abolition; through her work with nonprofit organisations such as the NewYork-based Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Queers for Economic Justice, and Critical Resistance she endeavours to bring underacknowledged histories to the fore. Her previous films focused on the Black and Puerto Rican trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.</p>\n<p>For <i>Salacia</i> Tourmaline trawled community archives to locate details about Mary Jones, about Seneca Village and about police harassment of LGBTQ+ people throughout history. Tourmaline has evolved a practice informed by what scholar Saidiya Hartman has called ‘critical fabulation’ (Saidiya Hartman, ‘Venus in Two Acts’, <i>Small Axe</i>, vol.12, no.2, June 2008, p.7) – a way of ‘re-membering’ historical narratives that bridges fact with speculative fiction so as to make productive sense of the gaps and silences in the archives of trans-Atlantic slavery. The film has an a-temporal quality, without linear progression, that links the past and present. Tourmaline has described <i>Salacia</i> as a ‘16-millimeter, experimental, freedom dream of a film’ (in Wally 2020, <a href=\"https://www.wmagazine.com/story/tourmaline-filmmaker-salacia-moma-permanent-collection-keanu-reeves/\">https://www.wmagazine.com/story/tourmaline-filmmaker-salacia-moma-permanent-collection-keanu-reeves/</a>, accessed 23 October 2020).</p>\n<p>\n<i>Salacia</i> was filmed on 16mm film and transferred to digital video. It was produced in an edition of five with one artist’s proof; Tate’s is number four in the edition and another edition is also in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.</p>\n<p>\n<b>Further reading</b>\n<br/>‘Tourmaline and Sasha Worzel talk about their film, Happy Birthday Marsha!’,<br/>\n<i>Artforum</i>, 20 March 2018, <a href=\"https://www.artforum.com/interviews/reina-gossett-and-sasha-wortzel-talk-about-their-film-happy-birthday-marsha-74735\">https://www.artforum.com/interviews/reina-gossett-and-sasha-wortzel-talk-about-their-film-happy-birthday-marsha-74735</a>, accessed 12 November 2020. <br/>Muna Mire, ‘Tourmaline Summons the Queer Past’, <i>frieze</i>, October 2020, <a href=\"https://www.frieze.com/article/tourmaline-summons-queer-past\">https://www.frieze.com/article/tourmaline-summons-queer-past</a>, accessed 30 October 2020.<br/>\n<a href=\"https://www.moma.org/magazine/articles/360\">Thomas J.

The figure has been rendered with very loose and thickly applied paint set atop a green underlayer. String has also been added into the mix to add to the texture of the work. The dominant colour is shiny black, in some areas pooling and mixing with oranges, reds and purples to create a marbled effect. Small repetitive lines occasionally emerge from and within the central figure, suggesting spiky hair or violent cuts. <i>The Warlord </i>was the artist’s favourite painting and he often posed for photographs in front of it. Although the painting was exhibited several times during the artist’s lifetime, he always specified that it was not for sale and kept it in his possession throughout his lifetime. It was included in <i>Four Indian Painters</i>, an exhibition organised by the Commonwealth Institute and held at The Grange, Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in 1973. </p>\n<p>Portraits are a recurring subject for Ribeiro throughout his career, always painted from the front and often twisted into dark and grotesque forms as here. The art critic Eunice de Souza linked <i>The Warlord</i> directly to ‘American aggressiveness in Vietnam’ (Buckman 2014, p.83), while other critics have read Ribeiro’s portraits as icons that refer to his Goan Catholic upbringing in Mumbai (Hazell 2013, p.38). The artist himself mentioned this, stating that ‘my first influences … were the churches and statuary of the Catholic church in Goa along with the symbolic ritual that went with it. The other and perhaps the strongest influence were the paintings of my brother, ten years senior.’ (Quoted in Hazell 2013, p.17.)

Ribeiro worked for Souza as a studio assistant as well as living with him in London at various points after first arriving there from Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1950. He attended life drawing classes at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951–3, before he was conscripted into National Service. He thereafter left London for several years for Bombay, where he began painting and exhibiting widely, before moving permanently back to London in in 1962.

Each of these small figurative drawings combines blocks of bright watercolour paint with organic intricate patterns drawn in black pen on white paper. Although much of the imagery is abstract, recognisable forms such as faces and landscape or manmade elements often appear. </p>\n<p>Characteristic of Ribeiro’s method, the drawings are not based on any specific location, but present scenes drawn from his imagination. In one a domestic interior is suggested through patterned wallpaper, a water jug and a ceiling lamp. In another a large disembodied head filled with several smaller heads dominates the composition.
