Show : Theme: Movement 1968, at ART-ART Gallery, Imruneta, Italy.

This is an installation  of work that I  presented in a recent show at the gallery ART-ART in Impruneta, (FI) Italy.  The theme was reflections on the revoluntionary movement of the '68ers.
I chose the feminist aspects of the movement, the radical change in the role of women in society, the new sense of liberation in the attitude of  women toward themselves and their potential.

This is the entire installation: four paintings using oil and cold wax and four prints, mostly etchings recalling the various stages.




 This is the first painting to the left depicting the woman, a prisoner of the roles inflicted upon her by society with no freedom of thought or movement of her own.

This is the center painting, a diptich, oil and cold wax on canvas, represnting the conflict within the movement.

 

 To the extreme right, the third painting represents an exhuberant final freedom, a wild, uncontrolled dance with figures undefined, a victory- non-victory.

Below  are the  prints that I hung above the paintings to underline  the stages of the '68 movement.

And the final foto ....

hope you enjoyed the show.....!!
