琪琪·史密斯是当代女性艺术最重要的声音之一。1970年代末,史密斯跟她同时代的艺术家找到了探索女性社会、文化和政治角色的新途径。她着迷于具象艺术,以她内心的、常常令人不安的艺术作品而闻名于世,这些作品细致地描写了人体的艺术,把焦点集中在神话、民间传说以及天主教教育背景中的女性的主题。 Kiki Smith is one of the most important voices of contemporary female art. In the late 1970s, Smith and her contemporary artists found new ways to explore women’s social, cultural and political roles. Fascinated by figurative art, she is best known for her inner, often disturbing, work of art that elaborates on the body’s art and focuses on the themes of women in myths, folklore and Catholic education .
