September 17 – October 19, 1990

McPherson Library Gallery

This exhibition features symbolic and expressionistic portrayals of women in the arts and sciences. Many of the pieces were inspired by remarks made by the female subjects in their diaries and biographies.

Like many women artists, I have deeply felt the need to paint what has become known as “feminist art”… I was frustrated by a society that was blind to the injustice of its double standard.

-Marianne Childress, 1990
