Works by DOROTHY
DEHNER and ANNE RYAN are in Making Space: Women Artists and Post-War
Abstraction at the Museum of Modern Art, NY. The exhibition ends tomorrow,
Sunday, August 13, 2017. The paintings,
prints, sculpture, ceramics, and drawings, date from the end of the Second
World War, 1945, to the beginning of the Feminist Movement, 1968.

A label for the
show notes “Abstraction dominated artistic practice during these years, as many
artists working in the aftermath of World War II sought an international
language that might transcend national and regional narratives – and for women
artists, additionally, those relating to gender.” One might add that the figure
had become too banal to paint.
The nearly 100
works in many mediums by more than 50 artists (including women from Europe, the
Americas, and Japan), form an ethereal and mesmerizing exhibition. Of course we
were especially pleased to see both Dorothy Dehner and Anne Ryan included and
then so intrigued to find them nearly side-by-side. Dehner is represented by
a single piece of six bronze parts, Enounter, 1969; Ryan by four collages.
