Works by Eva Hesse, Joan Snyder, Judy Chicago, Audrey Flack, Miriam Shapiro, Ida Applebroog and others are featured in this illustrated lecture presented by art historian Mary Vahey. Individual artists, as well as feminist social networks, expressed a critical Jewish feminist consciousness in paintings that confront anti-Semitism and question assumptions about family, home, the body, ritual, faith and conventional symbols. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition at the Jewish Museum through January 2011.
