women artists

Hi- I too love Max Ernst. The Dadas are some of my favorite artists, but the 20th cent. and beyond is such a diverse, colorful, and interesting art era. I really like learning about women artists who are lesser known throughout history as well. A good information warehouse for women artists is www.csupomona.edu/~plin/women/womenart.html . One of my favorite POP ART artists is Marisol (Escobar) who's created many painted/sculpted wood portraits of famous and fictitious people. In the 1960's she installed a work, COCKTAIL PARTY, which depicted several female stereotypes from the era with humor and at times, biting wit. Like many artists, I think she was ahead of her time. ann
