In Women Artists in Midcentury America, readers embark on a journey
spanning two decades, delving into the evolving social and artistic
landscapes through the lens of all-women exhibitions. These
groundbreaking projects courageously confronted issues of sexual
and racial discrimination, igniting profound discussions about
women's roles within modernism and democracy. Looking closely at
the inception and reception of these exhibitions by curators,
artists, critics and the public, the book sheds light on the
remarkable contributions of numerous artists, from Ruth Asawa to
Marguerite Zorach. By foregrounding the accomplishments of women
artists during a conservative period overshadowed by the feminist
movement of the 1970s, Belasco provides a fresh perspective on the
complex history of women’s art in America and its significance in
the broader art world.
