DescriptionA close-up, three-quarters view of an elderly woman’s face with her hands placed on each side of her face. She is wearing a floppy purple hat with a wide brim and a bow or flower on the side and several rings on her fingers.eMuseum Notes
The subject is the artist’s
friend, Yolanda Belloli, (1894-1984), an American artist known for her
sculpture. Boston-born Yolanda married the Italian architect Count Giorgio Belloli
and they bought land along the Santa Fe River (1379 Upper Canyon Road) in 1930
and the next year Cason del Triunfo (House of Triumph) was completed. The
couple separated in 1947 and Yolanda remained in the home until her death in
1983. Belloli was important in sparking Noggle’s interest in art. She was a
frequent subject of Noggle’s photographs. Belloli left the house to Noggle in
her will and Noggle sold it.
Sculptor
Yolanda Belloli was a close friend of Noggle’s who encouraged her interest in
art and was a frequent subject of her photographs. In this portrait of her at
age 86, Noggle shows Yolanda as a vibrant figure, adorned with earrings,
necklace, and purple silk hat.
