Women Painting Women

Overview

Hope Gangloff’s paintings of Brooklyn bohemians — primarily her friends caught seemingly unaware in moments of leisure — borrow heavily from late 19th- and early 20th-century expressionists such as Van Gogh, Egon Schiele, Gustave Klimt, and Suzanne Valadon; creating a sympathetic link between the historic avant-garde and post-postmodern hipsterism.  Hope’s artwork “Queen Jane (Approximately)” will be included in the group exhibition Women Painting Women at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, from May 15 to September 25, 2022.  Women Painting Women is a thematic exhibition approximately 50 evocative portraits by 46 contemporary female artists who choose women as subject matter in their works. The exhibition intends to recognize female perspectives that have been underrepresented in the history of postwar figuration.  Alturas Foundation is a sponsor as well as a lender to the exhibition.
