Helen Redman, Pioneer of Feminist Art

It's fun to learn the history of the Feminist Art Movement from the people who made it!


The arc of a journey, both inner and outer, is embodied by Helen Redman's exhibit at the Women's History Museum in San Diego. The venue couldn't have been more appropriate for this history making pioneer of Feminist Art. The generosity of her spirit as she shared fifty years of experience as an artist with women of all ages, and the dialogical nature of the salon talk's discussion was a paradigm of the Feminist Art Movement itself...and testifies that it's history is still unfolding.

I'm happy that I was there and captured some of the flavor on video. I'm even happier to have been Helen Redman's friend over the years!

My friend...wondered what happened to you. We met in the early seventies in Iowa...I was teaching at the Writer's Workshop University of Iowa...Now I see that you are a pioneer. Congratulations! I'm in Facebook. Write to me. Much love, Rosalyn (Drexler).

Helen,

Love witnessing a slice of your presentation in this video. Thank you Susan for creating it. Good job in capturing authentic flavor and essence of a few moments during that day.  I was sorry to not be able to attend and yet now feel richer having received this YouTube gift.

i am so sorry that i missed this compelling lecture and insight into helen's world. i too was an artist in the early 70's (graduated mid '70's from sdsu-BA fine art ) and am totally impressed with who and what women artists have emerged since. and yes, there were only those 3 artists of note at the time. it was an uphill, well, seemingly an impossible hill to climb.

if every woman told her story in SOME form, as helen does so exquisitley in painting, a great healing would take place around the world. thank YOU, helen!
