There was yet another trip to the Walker art gallery yesterday. This time to see the current exhibition, 'Rise of Women Artists.' The exhibition features works from art history's most celebrated and successful ladies. On show are works starting from as early as the 16th century up to today's more contemporary pieces.
The Artists featured that really stood out for me were Paula Rego and Aubrey Williams. I've always been a quiet fan of Rego's, so to see some of her earlier works in the flesh was quite exciting...
The exhibition was rather poignant, there were stories of tradgedy and courage behind so many of the works of art. I held a feeling of satisfaction and great-fullness after we'd left. From now on I will leave my opinions and stereotypes at the door... When creating art, gender and race should not play any part, we are all entitled to create whatever we see fit.
