Ah, love.
Rene Magritte, Attempting the Impossible. 1928, oil on canvas. Private collection.
Magritte paints a beautiful woman from thin air. Provokes some interesting thoughts on the woman as subject/object in Western art history.
This reminds us of one of our favorite books of 2012. Remember 'Lucien Freud: Portraits'?
One generation, women sculptors.
Louise Nevelson, Maquette for Night Wall VI, 1977-1979

"Art is always seeking a state in which abstract forms can become meaningful objects, or else pure symbols as constant as numbers and letters of the alphabet. Taken all together, these may become symbols of the cosmos; that is to say, they become a form of religious experience."
-Paul Klee
Pioneering female sculptor Hannah Holliday Stewart was inspired by Klee's words in her work. She sought to manifest spiritual energy in her monumental sculptures through a complex symbol system.
