Art Exhibit- they just happened to be all WOMEN

For the first time in the world, a museum will be displaying the feminine side of its own collections. This groundbreaking exhibition by the Musee national d’Art Modern in France, will be entirely dedicated to the women artists of our time.

The show was sponsored by Yves Rocher (yes the same ones that did the beautiful ad I posted recently) and has the immense objective to ” rewrite the art history of the 20th and 21st century from a female perspective. Their creative power, their modes of actions and their strategies are universal source of inspiration, reaching far beyond the world of art.

The new display of the Centre Pompidou’s collection tells their story, their constant struggle and inventiveness to make visible the innovation and creativity that are their contribution to today’s art. (…) Most notably, they explore our collective gaze on the female body, tracing the contours of a free, modern and independent woman. (…)

Expressing the victory of essence over appearance is a fundamental value of the Yves Rocher Company, a company that has continually encourage women to asset their differences and their beauty by defying stereotypes.

By supporting this exhibition, Yves Rocher wishes to demonstrate its attachment to women artists, who are free to think, act and choose their lifestyles, desires and beauty as they please, and to allow everyone  to discover and appreciate the dynamic nature of their art. ”

Music to my ears….
