The war in our neighbourhood gives the first two halls of the exhibition a special topicality. The female artists depict men singing about the war, in military uniforms, in tanks, in the backdrops of burnt-out houses. This is counterbalanced by the works in the next hall, which depict the home, the family and the world of children, which are the main themes of women’s art.
In the other rooms, we will present a selection from the museum’s heterogeneous material, without claiming to be exhaustive, and will try to give an overview of different artists, works, trends and themes. Among the works on display are those of the older generation, who in the 1970s and 1980s often created their valuable oeuvre in the shadow of men or in competition with them. The new generation that emerged after the change of regime and in the 2000s is even more prominent in the collection and in the exhibition: in the works of these artists, we can see not only the changes in the socio-political environment and their consequences, but also the conscious incorporation of tools, materials and themes that were considered feminine, and artistic self-reflection. Finally, we will also present some of the women artists of the 2020s who are renewing today’s art with their unique techniques and striking experiments in colour and form.
