Women Painting Women at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
Girls Portray Girls is a thematic exhibition featuring 46 woman artists who pick out females as subject matter in their functions. This group exhibit presented by The Present day Artwork Museum of Fort Worth includes about 50 evocative portraits that span the late 1960s to the existing. The exhibition was curated by Andrea Karnes, chief curator.

Intercontinental in scope, Women of all ages Painting Females recognizes feminine perspectives that have been underrepresented in the background of postwar figuration. Portray is the emphasis of the exhibition, as historically it has been a privileged medium for portraiture, especially for white male artists. The artists right here use portray and ladies as topic make a difference as autos for transform and vary from early trailblazers like Alice Neel and Emma Amos to emerging artists such as Jordan Casteel and Apolonia Sokol. I’m happy to share that Christiane Lyons previously featured on the The Curious Frenchy, is between the chosen artists!
Some, such as Jenny Saville, operate on huge canvases, manufacturing photographs that dwarf the room all around them, although others, which include Somaya Critchlow, paint on a modest scale that invitations close viewing. All spot women—their bodies, gestures, and individuality—at the forefront.
Four themes craze in the performs incorporated in Females Painting Ladies: The Human body, Mother nature Personified, Coloration as Portrait, and Selfhood. By these themes, the artists conceive new ways to activate and elaborate on the portrayal of women. Replete with complexities, realness, abjection, magnificence, troubles, everydayness, and pleasure, the portraits in this exhibition make way for feminine artists to share the phase with their male counterparts in defining the picture of lady and how it has progressed.
