The artist\u2019s paintings are populated by a wide-ranging cast of characters\u2015from swimmers to superheroes to, most recently, mothers\u2015who anchor and connect her work across time and media. Her figures, who often defy society\u2019s expectations of women (and other gender norms), thus serve as surrogates for a mother, painter, and lesbian coming of age at the turn of the twenty-first century. Featuring more than twenty years of her work, <em>Flying Woman: The Paintings of Katherine Bradford<\/em> considers the artist\u2019s many themes, her ongoing exploration of different painterly modes, and her lifelong fascination with color.&#8221; &#8211; Rizzoli International Publications<\/p>\n<p><em>[The copyright of the above video remains with the original holder and it is used here for the purpose of education, comparison and criticism only.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video (11:48): Artist and lesbian Katherine Bradford is best known for her paintings of swimmers, superheroes, and bathers.
