Shifting the Gaze: Painting and Feminism September 12, January 30, 2011



'Over the past fifty years, feminists have defied an art world dominated by men, deploying direct action and theory while making fundamental changes in their everyday lives. Shifting the Gaze: Painting and Feminism explores the widespread influence of feminist practice on the styles and methods of painting from the 1960s to the present. The provocative paintings on view here embody the tension between individual expression and collective politics, between a traditional medium and radical action.' 

This is quoted from the website. I will however see if I can get hold of an exhibition catalogue so I can consider in more depth the "provocative paintings".
