FEMINIST ART AGAIN?
Back in February, this columnist
spoke briefly on the ever-present
feminist artists at the College Art
Association convention in New
Orleans. At that time, grave
misgivings.were expressed at the
truly horrendous aesthetica
quality of the work presented,
noting that no social realism had
ever so completely abandoned the
visual component.
In perfect contrast to these
atrocities at CAA, visiting artist
Harmony Hammond presented the
other side of the coin in a slide
lecture on "feminist" in quotes
when I speak of the Hammond
lecture simply because the work
presented deserves better
association than this badgered
political term allows, (although
Hammond herself insists the word
must stay).
Aside from this insistence, it
became increasingly clearer as the
the work of nearly a dozen women
artists were presented (Hammond
included), that the shift was obviously
away from politics. This
departure seems to be a logical
one, for the politics in women's art
has served its function to awaken
the art world to its own special
brand of chauvinism. In any event,
from the artists Hammond
showed, it is apparent that women
are making art again that encompasses
the broad range of
emotion, temperament and sensitivity
that is uniquely feminine. A
new dawn in women's art is
breaking.

The photos were taken by USC

tools. The pvhihit will rnntinnn
