Family legacies : the art of Betye, Lezley, and Alison Saar
Family Legacies celebrates the art of Betye Saar and her daughters, Lezley and Alison Saar. It explores the sharing of artistic and spiritual traditions within a family and shows how to generations of women use art to express changing ideas about gender, race, and ethnicity. The formal and thematic parallels in this family's work reveal a glimpse into their dynamic. Each artist's response to contemporary social issues - identity, sexuality, spirituality, the female body, and stereotypes - emerges through creations that also possess great beauty
