From the Venus de Milo to the Grande Odalisque, women have functioned as artistic muses throughout art history. And for the vast majority of that time, female figures have been filtered through the male gaze. In Portraits of Her: Figures by Female Artists, Saatchi Art puts the perspective of women front and center, featuring over sixty depictions of the female form made by female artists. Specifically, the myriad works represented here reflect the exploratory approaches of women artists relishing in what is, whether consciously or unconsciously, a personal reclamation of the female subject. Ultimately, these featured artists bring forth the unexpected and exude an air of freedom and experimentation in their work.
