From
January through May of 2004, the Picturing Women
project presented, interpreted, and taught through an exhibition
exploring historical and contemporary representations and self-representations
of women—how they are figured, fashioned, turned into portraits,
and told about in words and pictorial narrative. The exhibition,
its programming, and publications juxtapose historical works
with 20th- and 21st-century art, presenting photographic, printed,
and painted portraits along with such diverse cultural artifacts
as conduct manuals, historical costume, literary portrait sketches,
advertising images, caricatures, silhouettes, and contemporary installations. |
