Get the Picture: Female photographers are the focus of LSU Museum of Art’s summer exhibition
See the world from a woman’s point of view at the LSU Museum of Art’s newest exhibition, ReVision: Women in Photography, on view through August 30.
Each displayed work affirms the ongoing impact of women artists who shape the visual language of photography. The collection includes pieces from the museum’s permanent collection, as well as items on loan from the Paul R. Jones Museum in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Through portraits, conceptual narratives, collages and more, the female artists explore gender, identity, societal expectations and empowerment while reimagining shared narratives.
One artist featured is Anne Noggle, a veteran fighter pilot, professor, curator and artist known for her self-portraits that celebrate the aging process. Through candid portraiture, her work explores the maturing female form, embracing the effects of time on the human body and the interpersonal relationships she formed later in life.
Also on display is Suda House’s 1980s Aqueous Myths series, which reflects on the status of women during that decade, and most markedly, the tensions of pursuing careers and equal rights while maintaining traditional roles as caregivers and mothers. House situated figures in fluid, dreamlike spaces to create works that evoke resilience, vulnerability and the constant negotiation between personal ambition and societal expectation.
From the Paul R. Jones Museum’s permanent collection, artist Amalia Amaki combines photography and everyday materials to explore the art and history of the African diaspora through layered compositions. Also on loan, Sheila Pree Bright’s Plastic Bodies series examines the pressures of contemporary beauty culture through visually arresting photographs that blur the line between human subjects and manufactured ideals. Bright’s work offers a critical perspective on broader conversations about representation, conformity and the politics of beauty.
