Ladies of the Club: Female Portraits from the Collection

May 14, 2016 - Aug 28, 2016
The female image has beguiled artists for millennia.  From the ancient Egyptian busts of Nefertiti to Leonardo da Vinci’s enigmatic Mona Lisa, artists have attempted to capture the features and personality of female sitters in oils, marble, and every other imaginable media.  Complementing portraits in the exhibitions of work by Diego Lasansky and Auguste Rodin, Ladies of the Club celebrates the female portraits in the CRMA’s collection, from Marvin Cone’s evocative paintings of his wife, Winnifred, to Mauricio Lasansky’s sensitive prints of his wife and daughter Emilia and Maria Jimena to Andy Warhol’s iconic images of the mourning Jackie Kennedy.
