women I admire

Magdalena Abakanowicz born 1930. Conte pencil drawing from a photograph taken by Artur Starewicz when she was 52. Here's a sample of her work.

Louise Bourgeois born 1911. Conte pencil drawing from a photograph taken by Peter Bellamy when she was 85. Here's a sample of her work.

Both are from a generation (or two) before me and they continue to make profound artwork after long and succssful careers. They are strong role models for women artists and I admire them.
