Good Figures is an exhibition that celebrates the enduring appeal of the female figure depicted by 30 Contemporary female artists.
About
100 years ago Dame Laura Knight was one of the earliest female artists to depict the female nude and then in 1936 the first woman to be elected to the Royal Academy. 100 years on this exhibition celebrates the freedom and expression of female artists today.
Continuing an impulse that began in the 1960s and 1970s with the Women’s Movement, many artists engage socially-centered themes, including gender and identity formation.
