Post-Modern art contains many different changes and art styles that could be gathered and made into an art exhibit. After looking through the visual art I decided to focus on women Post-modern artists. I think that there are many women artists during this time period. In our other time periods that we have covered it seems like men always made up the majority, if not all of the artists. Here are a few art pieces and information about some of the women artist of this time period, enjoy.
The Dinner Party, by Judy Chicago 1974–79.
Rainbow Pickett, by Judy Chicago 1965–2004.
Judy Chicago started out in Los angles. She has created many sculptures. Both of the pictures shown above were created by her and can now be found in the Brooklyn Museum. The Rainbow Pickett was originally created by her in 1965, but she reconstructed it in 2005. The Dinner Party actually honors 1038 women. Judy Chicago was not only an amazing artist, but she supported women’s rights, obviously.
Dark Star, by Betye Saar, created in 2006.
Crossings, by Betye Saar, a 2006 work.
Betye Saar considers herself a collage artist. She has used many recycled items in her works, as well. Both of the works above were created in 2006, but the work that made her successful was created in 1972. I did not include it because the pictures that we show are not supposed to be pieces older than 1975. Saar is not only a women, but she is African American, too. Crossings is meant to honor African American Soldiers, in the collage there is an African American solider from WWI. She started out many years ago and continued creating art to honor African Americans.
Judith Baca, The Great Wall of Los Angeles, 1974-1979.
Judith Baca, The Great Wall of Los Angeles, 1974-1979.
Judith F. Baca is the founder of the Great Wall of Los Angeles. I absolutely love this and wish that I could see it in person. From the two pictures above you can see that she included many different types of paintings about history. It took 5 summers and the help of many other painters to finish the amazing wall. Baca has done more large mural paintings, but this one is the most well-known.
All of these women are Post Modern artists. They all have different styles and are known for different types of art.

It’s true that this time period had many women artists, and I really liked that fact! I absolutely love Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party”. I think it’s the fact that it is so symmetrical, the shape, and the lights. It’s very dramatic. It would be nice if you included why you liked these pieces, otherwise, great exhibit!
I did not really like them very much. I have found out from this class that I like the older arts more than the modern ones. You are right though, I should have included why I did or did not like them. I liked the one by Baca because I think a lot of thought and creativity went into it. Also, I like the colors and the way she makes serious topics seem more approachable due to the cartoon like paintings.
