Época (Paul Gauguin and Me) 1975

Miriam Schapiro's 1975 work, "Época (Paul Gauguin and Me)" is a vibrant example of her signature "Femmage" style. This mixed-media collage is a playful commentary on the art world and celebrates the contributions of women in art. The image is a complex composition of patterned fabrics, paint, and found objects, visually referencing Gauguin's work and the artist's personal experiences. Schapiro uses a layered approach, creating a dynamic composition that invites viewers to explore the multifaceted nature of her artistic practice and the history of art.
