In a small mountain village outside Verona, the Italian artist Elisabetta Zangrandi has toiled over the past year to create a portrait gallery that reflects the labors of nine hundred years of artist-women.
With her distinctive figurative style, Zangrandi has reinterpreted an array of female artists’ self-portraits, transforming these art historical icons into her own personal canon of predecessors—and Keyes Gallery into an alternative feminist museum.
