In our exhibition, Witness: Women Artists Depict Women, we have chosen a selection of works from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries highlighting how women artists – with respect to those who identify with that gender label – have captured the lives of their peers. Whether of strangers, family, lovers, or in self-portraits, the observations of the artists are wholly personal, resisting the expectations of the male gaze and Western beauty standards to dwell instead in the delight of the everyday, in the surreal and the spiritual, and in the freedom of art for art’s sake. This exhibition will be available to view in person at The Annex Galleries in Santa Rosa, CA, and online, at www.annexgalleries.com.
