Representations of motherhood have always been latently politicized. Even idyllic pictures of mothers painted by Renoir, for example, have an agenda. Art can often be a litmus test for social change and women artists can best demonstrate this change. However, it can be tricky combining being an artist and being a mother, especially when these two roles are often seen as opposed. Although there seems to be no contradiction for male artists between parenthood and artistic practice, this contradiction is often highlighted as a hard choice for a female artist. The tensions between these roles are specific to different times and places. During this lecture, I will talk about female artists and explore the topic of motherhood using the material I study and work with—the art of Eastern Europe and Russia.
