In this curated selection of artworks, social media specialist and curator Karen Vidangos has chosen pieces by Latina artists who employ the female form, offering a diverse array of perspectives on what it means to be a woman. While some of these artists may not have explicitly set out to explore themes of femininity, their work, nonetheless, resonates with the complexities and nuances of womanhood. The intent behind each piece varies, yet they are all united by the distinct gaze of Latina creators—an underrepresented group in the art world. This collection is a celebration of their unique voices and the rich tapestry of experiences they bring to the depiction of the female form. Vidangos is the founder of Latinx Art Collective, the first nationwide database exclusively for Latinx artists in the United States and Caribbean. She is currently the Social Media Manager for the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Vidangos has created engaging strategies to support the National Portrait Gallery’s 2019 American Portrait Gala and the 2021 Obama Portraits Tour. In 2021, she was selected to lead the social media strategy and launch of the Smithsonian’s institution-wide initiative, Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past, a collaborative platform that explores the history and legacy of race and racism in the United States and beyond.

Two masterpieces by David Hockney (born 1937) that feature reproductions of Piero della Francesca’s The Baptism of Christ (Estimated 1437–45) will go on display at the National Gallery alongside the original Renaissance painting from 8 August until 27 October 2024. This collection is inspired by both timeless masters, presenting artists reminiscent of the figurative painter David Hockney and similarly drawn to 15th-century painting. The Art of Slow Looking This art collection draws inspiration from the profound dialogue between contemporary artist David Hockney and Renaissance master Piero della Francesca. Celebrating Hockney's enduring fascination with historical art, the collection explores themes of perspective, emotion, and observation through works that echo and reinterpret Piero's iconic "The Baptism of Christ." Emphasising the practice of "slow looking," it invites viewers to delve deep into the connections between past and present, reflecting on the timeless power of art to connect people across centuries.
