By the 1980s,<br>\nSchapiro started to create large scale works emphasizing the<br>\nimportance of women in the history of art. These works<br>\nincorporated elements of forgotten women artists as well as<br>\nmedia like fabric and collage, which were viewed as lesser<br>\nforms of art only done by women. She called her new style<br>\nfemmage combining the words feminine and collage. In<br>\nConservatory (Portrait of Frida Kahlo), Schapiro depicts an<br>\nenthroned Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican surrealist whom<br>\nshe admired as a woman and an artist. Kahlo struggled during<br>\nher life personally and professionally, but she was able to<br>\novercome her pain and create great works of art. This inspired<br>\nSchapiro, who also added motifs alluding to Kahlo\u2019s paintings<br>\nand Pre-Columbian heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Miriam Schapiro (American, b.
