Feminist Artists

Meet three amazing artists, Lida Moser, Nancy Edell and Suzy Lake, whose creative self-expressions in multiple-mediums inspire the viewer (audience) with their strong creative feminist voices challenging the social constructs of gender, beauty, youth, politics and more.

Lida Moser

Lida Moser was a New York photographer who travelled throughout Quebec during the summer of 1950, on assignment for the American magazines, Vogue and Look.  Moser had a simple yet powerful artistic vision, "to capture beauty on film" and she pursued this goal throughout her career, ignoring the artistic fashions of the day.  Lida Moser Photographer: Odyssey in Black and White

 

Nancy Edell
