Then I just noticed this piece of artwork which called You Better Make It In The World On Your Own, composited by Mary Hood.
The artwork named You Better Make It In The World On Your Own and it was made by laser engraved woodcut on vellum with water color. The approach of laser engraved woodcut on vellum, differentiating from the other hand make methods, tends to be a new form of expression and knowledge.

    The work that I am analyzing is Bathsheba After the Bath by Jan Steen (1626-1679). I believe the meaning of the painting shows exactly what women had to endure to be presented to a man of high royalty and had no rights in the matter to reject his advances.

    Tastefully developed and carefully curated, The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University now holds one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The museum prides itself on displaying widely diversified paintings, a statement I do not fully agree with. Although the two-story museum’s walls are furnished with with a wide variety of subject content there is a chauvinistic sense about their collections. I am not saying there is an unequal ratio of male to female portraits because there isn’t. The museum has a plethora of women as subjects, but they only seem to only display women painted by men.…
