“The Church” by Gertrude Abercrombie (American) - Oil on canvas / 1938 - Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville, Arkansas) #WomenInArt #WomanArtist #art #artText #artwork #church #GertrudeAbercrombie #Abercrombie #Surrealism #CrystalBridgesMuseumofAmericanArt #WomensArt #WomenArtists
In the foreground, a lone woman in a long black dress with matching hat and shoes plus white socks and long gloves stands on a narrow dirt path leading toward a small, whitewashed church. She holds a leaf-less branch in her left hand while her right steadies her hat. Giving a sense of distance and solitude, the a solitary white church rises at the center of the scene, with pale walls, darkened windows, and a slim steeple topped by a pointed spire. It sits on flat ground, surrounded by open space with no trees or buildings nearby. The horizon is low, emphasizing the wide sky above, which is painted in muted blues and grays with hints of overcast light. Dark storm clouds, dead trees, and tree stumps surround the path near her. The stillness of the scene, the isolated figure, and the stark geometry create a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere. Gertrude Abercrombie, remembered as Chicago’s “jazz witch” and a leading figure in American Surrealism, painted “The Church” during her early period, when she pared down landscapes to bare essentials and infused them with psychological resonance. Born in Texas and raised in Illinois, Abercrombie studied briefly at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before developing her own style. During the Depression, she worked for the WPA Federal Art Project, producing a painting a month between 1935 and 1940. This experience sharpened her minimal, symbolic approach. By the mid-1930s she had become central to Chicago’s creative scene, hosting gatherings of musicians like Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan, whose improvisation mirrored her own imaginative freedom. For Abercrombie, churches, moons, barren trees, and solitary women were not literal but symbolic as motifs of solitude, longing, and the search for transcendence. She once said her art was about “simple things that are a little strange.” Here, the familiar sight of a country church becomes uncanny, charged with questions of faith, abandonment, and the mysteries of life.
