Images of Women: The Bass Museum (2121 Park Ave., Miami Beach)
takes a look at the way women have been portrayed by artists
throughout history in its latest exhibition, "Images of
Women." The approximately 60 works included range from rare
pieces such as Benjamin West's Countess of Northampton and Daughter
and Toulouse-Lautrec's Mlle. Marcelle Lender, en Bust to Berenice
Abbott's Twenties-era photographic portraits of bohemian American
expatriates in Paris and contemporary depictions of sadomasochism
and feminism by Richard Linder and Audrey Flack. Also featured
are nineteenth-century Austrian and French portraits of literary
figures and stage actresses, as well as contemporary portraits
of Miami Beach residents by photographers Mary Ellen Mark, Andy
Sweet, and the late Marcia Walkenstein. Admission is five
dollars. Museum hours are 10:00 to 5:00 from Tuesday through
Saturday (open 1:00 to 9:00 the second and fourth Wednesday of
every month), and 1:00 to 5:00 on Sunday. Call 673-7530. (GC) |
