Are you staring out the window and watching the rain roll in? “Silver Windows” was created at a time of transition in the career of artist Miriam Schapiro. After working as part of the Abstract Expressionist art scene in New York City in the 1950s, in the early 1960s Schapiro began to shift towards making more geometric works. In 1967, Schapiro moved to California, where she met fellow artist Judy Chicago, with whom she formed the Feminist Art Program in 1970. This work is part of Schapiro’s “Sixteen Windows” series. At first it seems that the windows in this work have been blocked and one cannot see beyond them. In fact, the silver interiors were meant to represent mirrors, enabling Schapiro to reflect on herself as an artist. In 1972, Schapiro, Chicago, and their students created an installation called “Womanhouse” in a condemned Hollywood mansion. Schapiro’s contribution to this feminist art cooperative was a work called “Dollhouse,” a collaboration with Sherry Brody, her teaching assistant. On the top floor of their dollhouse (second picture), Schapiro and Brody built an artist’s studio. On the easel in that studio is “Silver Windows.” #womenshistorymonth #MyOKCMOA #OKCMOAMovingVision Credit: Miriam Schapiro (American, 1923–2015) “Silver Windows,” 1967. Acrylic on canvas, 60 × 50 in.
