1915 Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture by Women Artists for the Benefit of the Woman Suffrage Campaign at the Macbeth Gallery
Soon after the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the world's fair held in San Francisco in 1915, some of the organizers who were showcased in the Women’s Building enlisted other women to participate in an east coast exhibition. Held at Manhattan’s Macbeth Gallery, the 1915 Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture by Women Artists for the Benefit of the Woman Suffrage Campaign raised money for the suffrage movement in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Ninety female illustrators, painters, and sculptors, many of whom were already award-winning artists, contributed 150 paintings, drawings, and sculptures to the event as their way to advocate for women's voting rights. GINNY POLEMAN is a graduate of Cornell University, a trained docent for the Municipal Art Society’s official Grand Central Terminal tour, as well as a trained educational guide for 4th through 12th graders at Manhattan’s largest art museum.

The British Are Coming: Francis Bacon, Barbara Hepworth, David Hockney, and Henry Moore
Leading British artists of the twentieth century embraced modern art in painting and sculpture. Francis Bacon’s emotionally charged figurative paintings are as bold as they are grotesque. Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore achieved international prominence as sculptors, transforming a wide range of materials into unique forms and shapes. David Hockney traded the gray skies of Britain for the sunshine of Southern California, continuing his lifelong fascination with figurative work.
