Peggy Guggenheim's '31 Women' show made waves in the art world, said to be the 1st US art show dedicated to female artists. Broadway Producer @JennaKatzSegal will now bring one piece from each of the artists to the original location of the 1943 show! 5/15

Sylvia Sleigh (born #OTD 1916–2010), Llandudno born but USA based, portraitist and figurative artist famous for gender reversed nudes: 'women had often been painted as objects of desire in humiliating poses. I don’t mind the ‘desire’ part, it’s the ‘object’ that’s not very nice.'

@ZebaTalk @LaurenElkin @JessicaSpivey20 @ChattoBooks Looks and sounds EXCELLENT!
