Wilhelmina Weber Furlong (1878 – 1962) was a German American artist and teacher.[1]
Among America's earliest avant-garde modernist painters, Weber Furlong pioneered modern impressionistic and modern expressionistic still life painting at the turn of the twentieth century's American modernist movement.[2]
She is considered by some [1][2] the first female modernist painter. Furlong's path reflects similar struggles of women artists during the late 1800s and early 1900s who found themselves subjugated to the tastes of realist[1][2] instructors who opposed both modernism in art and women artists.[3][4][5]
