About the piece

Painted in 1919, Florine Stettheimer's 'Heat' is a vivid representation of the artist's signature whimsical modernism. The painting captures her family and friends languidly enduring a summer heatwave during a birthday celebration, set against a dreamlike landscape of saturated colors and expressive, stylized forms.
