► EXHIBITION - RECOMMENDATION ► Tracing 70 years of this acclaimed British artist’s work, the Hayward Gallery will display a range of canvases – from early black and white efforts, to more expansive colour compositions later on. ▪️Bridget Riley (opens Oct 23, until Jan 26, 2020)▪️ #AWITA #WomenInTheArts #London #art #exhibitions #artist #feminism #london #networking #womeninthearts #associationofwomeninthearts #london #membersclub #femaleartist #professionaldevlopment #mentoring #Riley #Hayward #art #exhibitionreccomendation #timeout #london
► EXHIBITION - RECOMMENDATION ► At last, it’s time for a long-overdue examination of the women of the pre-Raphaelite movement @nationalportraitgallery This major exhibition is the first-ever to focus on the untold story of the women of Pre-Raphaelite art. 160 years after the first pictures were exhibited by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1849, Pre-Raphaelite Sisters, explores the overlooked contribution of twelve women to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including Evelyn de Morgan, Effie Millais (nee Gray), Elizabeth Siddal and Joanna Wells (nee Boyce), an artist whose work has been largely omitted from the history of the movement. Featuring new discoveries and unseen works from public and private collections across the world, the exhibition reveals the women behind the pictures. Through paintings, photographs, manuscripts and personal items, Pre-Raphaelite Sisters explores the significant roles they played as artists, models, muses and helpmeets who supported and sustained the artistic output of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. #AWITA #WomenInTheArts #London #art #exhibitions #artist #feminism #london #networking #womeninthearts #associationofwomeninthearts #london #membersclub #femaleartist #npg #professionaldevlopment #mentoring
► EXHIBITION - RECOMMENDATION ► There’s this great Cindy Sherman quote that goes ‘I’m disgusted with how people get themselves to look beautiful.’ Disgust, anger, cynicism and mockery: those are the American artist’s fiercest tools. Her now almost iconic photography – mostly an exercise in extreme self-portraiture – might look like someone playing dress-up for decades, but Sherman has targets, and she is merciless. ▪️Until Sunday September 15 National Portrait gallery @nationalportraitgallery ▪️ #AWITA #WomenInTheArts #London #art #exhibitions #artist #feminism #london #networking #womeninthearts #associationofwomeninthearts #london #membersclub #femaleartist #cindysherman #professionaldevlopment #mentoring #photographer #gallery #npg
► EXHIBITION - RECOMMENDATION ► Last chance to see Natalia Goncharova at @tate ▪️Exhibition will close on 08th september ▪️ Celebrated during her lifetime as a leading modernist artist, Goncharova was a pioneering and radical figure #AWITA #WomenInTheArts #London #art #exhibitions #artist #feminism #london #networking #womeninthearts #associationofwomeninthearts #london #membersclub #femaleartist #tate #professionaldevlopment #mentoring
► EXHIBITION - RECOMMENDATION ► We are looking forward to The largest retrospective of Dora Maar ever held in the UK @tate opening in November. During the 1930s, Dora Maar’s provocative photomontages became celebrated icons of surrealism. Her eye for the unusual also translated to her commercial photography, including fashion and advertising, as well as to her social documentary projects. In Europe’s increasingly fraught political climate, Maar signed her name to numerous left-wing manifestos – a radical gesture for a woman at that time. This exhibition will explore the breadth of Maar's long career in the context of work by her contemporaries. #AWITA #WomenInTheArts #London #art #exhibitions #artist #feminism #london #networking #womeninthearts #associationofwomeninthearts #london #membersclub #femaleartist #professionaldevlopment #mentoring #women #tate #documentary #surrealism #printmaking
