Untitled

Today's artwork is presented in the framework of our new project "DailyArt Goes Contemporary" in cooperation with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Until March 11th every Tuesday and Saturday we will show you the works of contemporary Polish artists that are now displayed in "As You Can See" exhibition at MoMA Warsaw. We hope it will be a new, but pleasurable and interesting experience for you. Enjoy!

Ewa Juszkiewicz is a painter. Her primary interest is the tradition of female portrait; in her work she reinterprets representations of women familiar from history. The Untitled is characteristic of the artist: Juszkiewicz presents her own take on classical paintings, removing the set order and all that we take for granted. On their basis, she builds her own narrative: her own herstory. Her canvases are populated with faceless women – mothers, wives and daughters of famous men. Taking away their very individuality, in a contrary manner, the artist posits a question about the status of women and their role in the history of humanity.
