You’re Seeing Less Than Half The Picture 1989

Curator: This print, "You're Seeing Less Than Half The Picture," is by the Guerrilla Girls. It grabs attention with bold typography, wouldn’t you agree? Editor: Absolutely. The stark contrast creates a powerful visual statement. It immediately demands your attention and feels quite confrontational. Curator: Indeed, the print utilizes the formal elements of design to underscore the lack of representation of women artists and artists of color within the art world. It really encapsulates their mission. Editor: It serves as a crucial historical document, reflecting the sociopolitical climate and institutional biases prevalent at the time, and how activism can be integrated with art. Curator: The simplicity in form allows for a very direct engagement with the ideas presented. Editor: Which still resonate today, showing the long road ahead.
