- Notes
- Rising to prominence in the 1980s, South Australian painter Annette Bezor added much to the feminist conversation in contemporary art. She graduated from the South Australia School of Art in 1977, with her first major painting after graduation, "The Snake Is Dead", acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria. She quickly found herself included in Australian Perspecta 83 at AGNSW, and the Fifth Biennale of Sydney in 1984, and was subsequently picked up by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney. Bezor was best known for her images that manipulate the female body; distorted portraits that gaze back intently at the viewer. For over 40 years she interrogated how we look at women, and how we construct notions of beauty.
