“I was thinking about the female body,” says Joan Snyder. “I was interested in what’s inside and what’s underneath.” Since the 1960s, the artist, now 84, has defied the conventions of abstraction, channeling feelings of love, grief, and desire into her colorful, textured paintings—a counterpoint to the masculine traditions of Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, and Color Field painting. Using materials like glitter, burlap, and dried flowers, Snyder weaves narratives of womanhood, telling both her own story and those of women more broadly. “Her work might hang on the wall,” writes the journalist Caroline Roux in the Financial Times, “but it pushes itself outwards into the world, disrupting the space around it as well as the process of making art itself.” More than 30 of Snyder’s pieces go on display in this exhibition, tracing the evolution of her practice. —Jeanne Malle
