As an aside, how did you come up with the title Pictures Girls Make?
When did that start and how did it develop?
I became a born-again feminist art historian about 10 years ago.
I had to ask myself, where were the badgirls?
I think my generation was the spoiled inheritors of Second Wave feminism.
How wrong I was!
What is the big, historical woman artist show youre working on for a museum in Poland?
How did your 2019 John Currin show at Dallas Contemporary fit in with your thinking?
But I dont think a lot of people would ID John as a feminist sympathizer.
I started to see his men as poster boys for the #MeToo movement.
When I talked with John, he agreed with my readings of his male subjects.
It turns out, he is a die-hard feminist through the back door, after all.
Elisabetta Zangrandi: Musee Imaginaire is on view at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor through June 26.
