The Personal is Political: Images of Women from the Harnett Print Study Center

Exhibition Website

Aug 23 2017 - Jul 2 2018

The prints in this exhibition depict women either enacting or struggling against “roles” defined by society. The women in these images are sexualized objects, frumpy matrons, idealized leaders, dreamy-eyed protagonists, romantic partners, or highly aggressive provocateurs. Some of the artworks were created by women and others by men, but all feature highly-stylized representations, building on art historical traditions of portraiture and figure studies. Highlighted artists include Rosalyn Drexler (American, born 1926), Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987), and Reginald Marsh (American, 1898-1954).
