Inspired by Sir Jacob Epstein's sculpture of his then 15 year old daughter Esther in which she seems to be resisting the artist's gaze, The Life of the Mind seeks to expose the myth of the great male artist who has special insight into the minds of his more frail female subjects. The exhibition will feature a key number of powerful female artists who give form to the interior world. Each artist resists easy interpretation and in Bob's word, "sticks a sharp pair of scissors into the soft underbelly of male hegemony". |
