Title: Good show, shame about the polemic
subtitle: John Russell Taylor on work by women artists from 1850 to 1940, watercolours by Malcolm Morley and the contrasting sculpture of Andrew Logan and Peter Peri.
Writer: John Russell Taylor
Article relates to the exhibition - Echo: Works by Women Artists 1850 - 1940. Contains a reproduction of a painting with the caption: “Familiar but vivid image: Love Locked Out, 1889, by Anna Lea Meritt at the Tate Gallery Liverpool.“

From the article:Echo: Works by Women Artists 1850 - 1940, which has been put together by Maud Sulter, recently in residence as the gallery’s third Momart Fellow. It is an interesting combination of familiar and unfamiliar works from the Tate’s collections, with Vanessa Bell, Anna Lea Merritt and Francis Hodgkins emerging with particular vividness. The trouble is the weight of polemic it is made to shoulder.” There is an enlarged text in the body of the article: “Feminist art historians have done fine work, but this sort of twaddle brings the notion into disrepute.”
