Often seen in art made by men, we see women being portrayed as beautiful flawless beings, having long flowy hair and displaying their fragile bodies. In this exhibition, we see how women are portrayed through the lens of female artists. Though each piece is made with a different medium, they each depict a woman as the focus and the women in these artworks are shown in a sophisticated manner. We see these women fully clothed in what would be considered men’s attire; in Jeanne Madden’s painting a woman stands with her hands on her hips and legs spread apart, a posture of confidence and power. They share another similarity in the way they all stare directly ahead, as if they’re staring back at the viewer. It is so much more than clothes and outward appearance that makes a woman feminine and this exhibition includes more representation of the variety of women that exist.
