European art always seems to get top billing. The good news is that a show in Dallas has the strength to change all of that.
A new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art of Forth Worth — "Women Painting Women" — shows viewers what happens when women are both the subject and the artist. The result: something raw and real.
For centuries, the idea of around what was classically deemed "high-art" was about accurately representing things. But, when Claude Monet came on the scene, he changed the game entirely. Monet was seen as one of the first modern painters. Rather than capturing an almost photographic representation of the scene in front of him, he wanted

Victor Brauner (15 June 1903 - 12 March 1966) was a Romanian Jewish sculptor and painter of surrealistic images. He was born in Piatra Neamț, Romania, the son of a timber manufacturer who subsequently settled in Vienna with his family for a few years. It is there that young Victor attended elementary school. When his family returned to Romania in 1914, he continued his studies at the Evangelical school in Brăila. His interests revolved around zoology during that period.
Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha (1860 – 1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist born in 1860 born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia. He is best known for his luxurious poster and product designs, which encapsulate the Art Nouveau style. Contemporary interest in his work was revived in 1980 after an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. For biographical notes on Mucha see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 6 also. This is part 7 of a 12-part series on the works of Alphonse Mucha: Part 7 is the continuation of The Documents Décoratifs shown in part 6. Published in 1902 is comprised of 72 plates that exemplify all that the Art Nouveau movement is remembered for, in the decorative forms of women, flowers, natural forms, jewellery etc. Although there are just 72 plates, I am showing associated works or originals alongside the printed version wherever I've found them. 1902 'Documents Décoratifs Plate 36 © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights

American artists — from the painters of the Hudson River School to the influential Andrew Wyeth — have long depicted this country’s vast landscape as simultaneously a place of lonely desolation and of awe-inspiring grandeur. Following in this tradition, Andrea Kowch creates gorgeous and eerie acrylic paintings of open-skied pastoral landscapes. Inspired by a deep fascination with the natural world, Kowch’s works also tap into a common feeling of uneasiness many of us have toward the American rural – a place that is iconic for its beauty but that is also often associated with tedium, isolation and a clinging to negative aspects of the country's past.

Paula Figueiroa Rego nació en Lisboa, Portugal, en 1935. Tuvo una infancia marcada por el catolicismo en los años de la dictadura de Oliveira Salazar en Portugal. Creció con la idea del pecado como eje central y una posición especial en cuanto a niña o mujer que vive en una sociedad machista y retrógrada, lo que sin duda debió de influirle profundamente en los personajes que plasma en su pintura, “siniestros y dominantes”. Se formó inicialmente en la St. Julian’s School de Carcavelos, Portugal, y más tarde en Londres en la Slade School of Art, en la que fue alumna de William Coldstream. En esta última conocería al que sería su marido, el también artista Victor Willing. En sus primeros trabajos de las décadas de 1960 y 1970, podemos ver rasgos neodadaístas o un estilo informal, en el que mezcla técnicas diferentes con pintura y collage, en las que plasmó imágenes infantiles, fetichistas y traumáticas, rasgos fundamentales en su estilo más maduro, en el que desarrolla un camino ilustrativo y figurativo. Se le adjudican influencias de Francis Bacon y Lucian Freud pero sobre todo con Beatrix Potter y sus libros de cuentos de hadas. Podemos observar también palpables similitudes con la obra de Rola Balthus. Formó parte del London Group participando en exposiciones colectivas con David Hockney o Kitaj, entre otros. En sus obras suele tratar de realidades sociales polémicas relacionadas con la mujer, como en el caso del Tríptico de la Serie, sobre el aborto, o con otros temas políticos. Su estilo es a veces comparado con las ilustraciones de historietas o tebeos. Como en las historietas, los animales se representan a menudo en papeles y situaciones humanas. Sus últimos trabajos muestran un estilo más realista, pero en ocasiones continúan las referencias animales, la serie Dog Woman de 1990 por ejemplo, en una serie de cuadros al pastel que representa a mujeres con diferentes poses propias de perros (ladrando a la luna, etc). Ha realizado así mismo un retrato de Germaine Greer, que se encuentra actualmente en la Galería Nacional del Retrato de Londres, así como el retrato oficial del presidente portugués Jorge Sampaio. En Cascais hay un museo dedicado a su obra, la Casa das Histórias – Museu Paula Rego. Considerada en el Reino Unido como una artista inglesa, en 1989 entró en la lista de candidatos al Premio Turner, y en 2005 le fue concedido el grado de Doctor Honoris Causa de las Letras por la Universidad de Oxford.
