NE: Okay, this is the thing. Women were the leaders Hilla Rebay at the Museum of Non-Objective Art, Julian Forst at the Whitney and Peggy Guggenheim. Then later on there was Martha Jackson - a real trailblazer. All these were leader women and they were absolutely mirrored by artists such as Lee Krasner and Joan Mitchell. It was just a burst from the ground. It was not created by any government institution or with start up grants. It was this whole burst of leader women. It was in the air. And by the way, she gave a lot of women shows, Peggy Guggenheim did; and so did Martha Jackson; people like Grace Hartigan and Joan Mitchell, she backed women. She wasn�t against women, which is what they say; that women hate women. It wasn�t always true. |
