Nancy Spero. Dissidances
‘I felt that I wanted to make a subversive art. And that I didn't want to do anything important, I wanted to make manifestoes.' This may perhaps explain why Nancy Spero, who started out painting on canvas like a traditional painter, soon focused on creating a specifically female pictorial language. Her work opts for the fragility of paper and is structured around a lexicon of real and mythological figures that ultimately unmask stereotypes.
