Judy Chicago


Judy Chicago is an artist and a sculptor. She studied embroidery and ceramic arts and took them beyond traditional skills. Through feminist work, she criticized the belief of a male-dominated society relating to arts and crafts. One of her famous art pieces is “The dinner party” in the Brooklyn Museum. It is a very huge organized work; also it is a declaration of feminism in the art aspect. Judy Chicago invited famous women to her dinner party. Among them, she embroidered thirty-nine female names on the tablecloths, and carved nine hundred ninety-nine female names on the white floor.
