“Isn’t it nice to feel feminine again?”

    A woman’s body can be described as colorful and soft yet vibrant with personality and grace.

     Washington, D.C., hosts, “Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution” in the National Museum of Women in the Arts. This remarkably breath-taking exhibit gives a different meaning to being a woman throughout American history. The “Wack!” exhibit contains the work of nearly 120 different artists from around the world; consisting of more photographs than actual paintings.

    Displaying the undying emotion each subject possesses along with graphic detail of the human body attracts the interest of the viewers.

    “Wack!” allows viewers to see through the lens with which society portrays women from the time of women’s suffrage to the present day. In addition the artists provides a glimpse of the way they view themselves and the women that surround them.

    Two of the most astonishing images are those by Kristen Justesen and Judy Chicago. Justesen’s image is titled Sculpture II. This 1968 photograph depicts a nude woman whose body is folded inside a cardboard box. Intending to display an image of herself through different angles, something that many artists strive for, she is also able to provide a lifelike quality during this process.

    Judy Chicago, one of the founders of the Feminist Art Program at the California Institute of Arts is the mastermind behind Pasadena Lifesaver Red #5. This vibrant airbrush artwork has been cleverly put together using sprayed acrylic on acrylic. These incredible images in the “Wack!” exhibit are open to the public now through Dec. 16.
