Bplfl Prlffsm y QL&A. v?&T* & Randor 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. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT A collection of 50 photographs depicting the interior environments of the pre-eminate architect's most famous structures will continue through April 6 in the Columbia Museum's East Gallery. DAI Member Jud Advisory Be * Introduced ?
