Coral Woodbury

Her recent portraits and multi-figure paintings critically reinterpret Western artistic masterpieces from a feminist perspective. Barely a generation ago, art history texts routinely omitted women artists entirely. Using the pages of one such preeminent textbook as a ground, Coral inks portraits of women artists over images from the well known canon. Of this series, titled Revised Edition, Coral writes, “It is a research study as much as it is an art project, and an honoring of the women denied a place in art history. I will not have run out of them when I have filled every page.”
