Comparative Analysis of Use of Woman Imagery in Painting: An Overview of Four Selected Artists and their Works.
Abstract
The trust of this paper is to draw a comparative analysis of the use of woman imagery in painting by four selected artists. What are their focus and motivations as observed by some art historians who sees women as the ?veritable symbol of life?, that they represent continuity and stability and are the hope of the human race, (Campbell, 1993). Hence, they are over the years, favourite subjects of the visual, verbal and literary artists all over the world. The woman imagery has served as a vehicle of aesthetic communication to depict social strata using colour in harmonious tones. The woman confronts the artist with general reality through studio practice to bring out a new mode of expression yet making allegorical statements about humans, their environment and their interconnectedness.
