Description

Catalogue of a group exhibition of contemporary and historical art from The University of Winnipeg's collection by Manitoba women artists. Featured artists include Eleanor Bond, Sheila Butler, Caroline Dukes, Aganetha Dyck, G. N. Louise Jonasson, Wanda Koop, Rosemary Kowalsky, Alison Newton, Daphne Odjig, Dominique Rey, Sheila Spence, Eva Stubbs and Diana Thorneycroft, among others. Herstory highlights the themes and subjects these artists have examined in their work, from portraiture and the body to landscapes and narratives. It also considers how “the feminine” and feminist notions (if any) have been approached and interpreted by these artists. White's essay also provides some context for the Manitoba art scene over the last century and how this history is connected to the work of the artists included.
