Contemporary Art: X Marks The Spot: Women Of The New York Studio School

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - New York is famous for finance & business but the metropolis is also a center of science & art. There are a lot of prestigious universities & other schools. The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture belongs to them (nyss.org). According to their website the school "is committed to giving a significant education to the aspiring artist that can last a lifetime".

Recently I saw there an exhibition with works by the school´s female artists, this year’s NYSS alumni show, called "X Marks the Spot: Women of the New York Studio School " (through August 26, 2018  exhibition). I display here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.
