Helen Frankenthaler’s statement, “Beauty is obsolete and not the main concern of art,” means that art should not be judged solely by how beautiful or visually pleasing it is. Instead, she believed that the true purpose of art is to express ideas, emotions, experiences, and creativity. In modern art, artists often focus on innovation, meaning, and personal expression rather than traditional standards of beauty. Frankenthaler suggests that an artwork can be powerful and significant even if it is unconventional, challenging, or not considered beautiful, because its value lies in what it communicates and how it makes people think and feel.

Many women artists don’t want to be defined or labeled as a woman artist, because they just want the same recognition as an artist that men get.
The Colorado Women’s Art Museum is choosing to deliberately flip the script. We are naming women artists to define their creative genius, talent and capability as distinctly because they are women.
We’re claiming the label woman artist and giving it a new life that defines not only gender, but splendor.
We’re choosing to shine the light on Colorado women visual artists and pull them out from the shadows so they can be seen, admired, and appreciated as the astounding women artists they are.
From where we stand being a woman is an asset. And being a woman artist is worth celebrating.

"Converging Visions" In D'art Gallery: June 4-June 28. Opens today!
📍Glass artist Denise Bohart explores how individual elements - shards, shapes, and lines - coalesce into a unified whole. Transparency and reflection underscore that wholeness is formed through relationships. As light moves through each piece, it activates the composition, allowing something greater to emerge from the interplay of its parts.
