The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Women in Art
Over the centuries, men making art have portrayed women for the delectation of male patrons. Male artists tended to show women either as goddesses or evil temptresses. This lavishly illustrated presentation looks at how the male gaze has rendered the female and explores the changes when women have the chance to become artists and speak for themselves.
