Anonymous was a Woman VI 1977

Miriam Schapiro's 1977 work, "Anonymous Was a Woman VI," is a print that features two doilies, one in dark grey and the other in a light, almost white grey. The doilies' delicate lace patterns create a sense of femininity and domesticity, which Schapiro references to explore ideas of women's roles and their contributions to art history, often hidden or anonymous. Her use of the doily as a motif in her art was a response to feminist art movements, and this piece is considered a fine example of Pattern and Decoration movement. The image itself is a testament to Schapiro's exploration of intricate details and patterns.
