Abstract
“In Her Own Image: Self-Portraits by Women from 1900 to 2018” , curated by Amy Sudarsky For the Concord Center for the Arts, is an exhibition of paintings, drawings and prints designed to present the evolution of images that women have made of themselves since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Not surprisingly, the earliest self-portraits in the exhibition are the most traditional. They were intended to accurately describe the appearance of each artist and, more often than not, place her in a social and economic context. As the various movements that characterize the arts in the twentieth and early twenty-first century emerged, changes in the formal, technical, and expressive aspects of these portraits became available.
