Christine Rosamond Kindergarten Work

rosa0003 rosa0004I found the lost kindergarten artwork of the world famous artist, Christine Rosamond Benton that Julie Lynch claims my sister’s kindergarten teacher told her about. As you can see it is not capable of rendering ” pictures of animals having near perfect detail and perspective.” She is a ordinary child.

This is a card to Rosamond’s mother, Rosemary, thus, Christine drew a rose. She got this rose right in a literary sense, it being under the name “Mother”.

“If Christine’s parents had embraced her talent, there might be existing works from her childhood, but this was not to be. Fearing that Christine would steal her brother’s spotlight as the family artist, Christine’s mother, Rosemary, forbade Christine to draw at home. The only time she could express herself was at school or in her closet, by flashlight, when everyone else was asleep. Though we don’t have images to prove it, Christine’s kindergarten teacher has said that, by age five, Christine was already drawing with adult skill. She can remember Christine’s pictures of animals having near perfect detail and perspective.

In addition to oppressing Christine artistically, Rosemary also dominated Christine with physical violence. Trying to support four children with only a high school education and little help from her alcoholic husband, Rosemary was often enraged. She took this rage out on Christine and Christine’s earliest known works reflect it. In Teenage Drawing II, her subject is reticent and withdrawn.  In Teenage Drawing III, the woman looks shocked and angry.
