For Centuries artists have depicted women in a variety of roles and statuses. As times change
so do the styles of the multifaceted depictions, from idealistic to realistic to abstract to erotic.
Up until the mid 20th century most images of women were painted by men; with the advent of the feminist movement many female artists emerged adding a new viewpoint to the art scene.
Some popular themes are women engaged in domestic activities, motherhood, goddesses and
women in the nude. The classic story of “Leda and the Swan”, a common inspiration for images of women in art, is illustrated by several pieces in this show. The influences of surrealism, ethnicity and realism are evident in the exhibition collection.
