Heat is a 1919 oil by Florine Stettheimer, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a dreamlike scene with five people in different settings. The top figure wears a black robe and stands on an orange hill with a green sky. Two women sit in chairs on either side, one with a red chair and the other with a floral chair. At the bottom, a woman lies on a yellow chaise lounge, and another woman in a white dress is bent over a table with a cake. The scene is surreal, with no clear connection between the figures. The colors are vibrant, with shades of green, orange, and yellow dominating the palette. To explore more, look up Florine Stettheimer.
Florine Stettheimer (August 19, 1871 – May 11, 1944) was an American modernist painter, feminist, theatrical designer, poet, and salonnière.
