Read The New York Times on Judith Bernstein and other radical female artists: “Like their male counterparts, their subject matter is also the body, but unlike some of their proto-feminist foremothers (Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes Martin, Lee Krasner), they’re concerned not with vaginal flowers or redefining beauty, but with fluids, bulges and secretions. Fellow artists and critics have called them the “blood and guts club” or the “black sheep feminists.” Censored, shunned and banished to obscurity for most of their careers, they’ve been working with remarkable consistency, and it is only now — when these artists are in their 70s, 80s and 90s — that they, and their work, are being embraced as canonical.

Their latent recognition is both a reflection of the political moment and a response to it. At a time of renewed debates about consent and gender equality in the workplace as well as the rising power of nativist men’s rights activists — spurred by a president who has a morbid fascination with the visceral functions of the female body — Bernstein, Schneemann and an entire generation of nearly forgotten women who have fearlessly examined sex and gender in their art, whether anyone was paying attention or not, are suddenly more relevant than they’ve ever been.”- by Rachel Corbett
