The Evolving Female Symbol and Image in the History of Art presentation by Tricia Grame, PhD
Dr. Tricia Grame will be discussing the evolution of the female symbol and image in the history of art. Her research was done in Italy and Malta, concentrating on the evidence that prehistoric people celebrated a female deity for nearly 30,000 years beginning in the Ice Age. Some images were realistic, expressionistic or abstract. Without the written word, these ancient artifacts spoke a language. She will then turn to the masterpieces of the Renaissance—the most extraordinary period in art history. For those Italian artists, the female became the most used subject in their art, blending religion, mythology and the landscape. Contemporary artists continue to paint and sculpt her form with a different perspective. Her symbol and image have changed dramatically; she is no longer voiceless.
“Art enriches and endures as a primary source for understanding the development of history, our enduring imprint, and the effects upon our identity.”
