Henrietta Howland Green, known as the Witch of Wall Street, was the most successful and wealthy american businesswoman living in the Gilded age. She was also known for being ridiculously greedy. There have been many legends about her extreme stinginess like the one about the black dress she’s wearing here. That was the only dress she had. And to avoid “wasting” water and soap she only washed its hem. Henrietta is having a huge stone for dinner, with a rope attached to her neck as a symbol of her life burden. Another legend says that she always had stones in her purse in case she had to dine out. She threw them into her meal and didn’t pay for it.

Maria Petroff is a contemporary self-taught artist inspired by controversial people who make a certain impact on our society. Their personas are admired and loved or hated and mocked. Maria is just an unbiased observer whose goal is to evoke emotions from the viewers. When asked if she’s admired by all the personalities she paints, she would answer that she’s admired by their role in our life not by them. “You shall not make yourself an idol..” People should not declare other mortals to be saint. We are all sinners, born like this.. The artist identifies her art as a certain mixture of pop art and realism. She believes that realistic portraiture is the most efficient way to express character’s feelings, thoughts, emotions. Maria likes to paint aged people as the minor details of each wrinkle reflect a huge life experience of a character. The french artist, Edgar Degas, once said: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. This quote is very accurate. No matter what you want to express through a piece of art, the viewer will see it his own way, will have his own perception. Which is great as art is here to make people think.
