Oh, ART! the things you do to me

The painting is called Woman in Black at the Opera,it was created 1879, its an oil on canvas, & it is now located at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In the 19th century sexist society the public sphere was a forbidden area for a honourable woman on her own but as in all rules there was an exception. There was only one public space that was actually available to both men & women: the opera.

Today the World celebrates 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. And i am honored to present a painting which is so grand in its message which is: WOMEN ROCK! this painting honor my mother, grandmother, female friends & anyone who is a independent strong women!



Happy international womens day!
