Summary
"Family Legacies celebrates the remarkable art of Betye Saar and her daughters, Lezley and Alison Saar. It explores the sharing of artistic and spiritual traditions within a family and shows how to generations of women use art to express changing ideas about gender, race, and ethnicity. The formal and thematic parallels in this family's work reveal a fascinating glimpse into their creative dynamic. Each artist's response to contemporary social issues - identity, sexuality, spirituality, the female body, and stereotypes - emerges through creations that also possess great beauty."--BOOK JACKET.
