"Girls Girls Girls" Exhibition
Jenkins Johnson Projects
This event has ended.
Art history and the art world have always been dedicated to depictions of women. The "Venus of Willendorf," frequently considered to be the first piece of art, is a fertility figure of a woman created between 24,000 and 22,000 BC; goddesses were frequently sculpted by the Greeks, and Egyptians artistically honored their female pharaohs equally to the males. Renaissance artists were preoccupied with female subjects, and Impressionists painted women along with their waterlilies. Picasso and Matisse had their lovers for subjects – Abstract Expressionists even painted women. Contemporary artists are of course equally dedicated to depicting women in their works. The twelve artists included in "Girls Girls Girls" all have a predilection for featuring females in their works as well
