Censored painting now hangs in museum
While still in her 20s, Shapiro received a significant artistic nod with a solo show at the Whitney in 1973. It was the nascent days of feminism, and Shapiro’s work explored questions about what it meant to be female or male. But the topic of gender back then belonged in the realm of the avant garde, so much so that the museum censored two paintings out of Shapiro’s exhibit. That stunning experience sent Shapiro traveling an unexpected artistic path, a path that came full circle when SAM acquired her paintings.Read about the interesting road that artist Ann Leda Shapiro's painting took to get into the permanent collection of the Seattle Art Museum.

These Mirrors are Not Boxes
Artists as Docents: Sunday, June 28,
2:00 p.m.
Join the artists featured in the
VisArts exhibition, These Mirrors are Not Boxes, for a tour
through the gallery and a discussion of their artwork focused on the issue of
identity.
Curated by VisArts’ first Emerging
Curator, Kayleigh Bryant-Greenwell, These Mirrors are Not Boxes
examines the complexities of contemporary identity through the work of six
local female artists: Amy Hughes Braden, Milana Braslavsky, Anna U. Davis, Nora
Howell, Annette Isham, and Lisa Noble.
The exhibition explores the
surprising, alternative, even subversive means and ways identity is formed,
presented, confronted, and challenged when marginalized personas are brought
out of the fringes. The VisArts Emerging Curator Program offers a unique
opportunity for an emerging curator to work with an experienced mentoring
curator to develop and present an exhibition and to assist in the
presentation of the mentor’s exhibition in the Kaplan Gallery at VisArts. This
is the first year of this outstanding new program.
