Girls: Historical Portraits from the Collection
The ways that artists portray young females is at the heart of Girls: Historical Portraits from the Collection. Curator Michelle Jacques takes her inspiration from Margaret Atwood’s novel Cat’s Eye and Girls, Lena Dunham’s hit HBO show. “Girls have always been a compelling subject for artists,” says Jacques. “It’s very interesting to see a range of artistic depictions of girls and young women spanning the past 200 or so years.”
