Chantal Joffe: Personal Feeling is the Main Thing

Images painted during Blackshaw’s second pregnancy go on view in Chantal Joffe: Personal Feeling is the Main Thing, an exhibition which displays recent work by Joffe alongside that by Paula Modersohn-Becker at The Lowry, Salford (until October 2018). The works are a continuation and expansion of conversations Joffe and Blackshaw have been having over some years on female agency, maternity, and the problematics of the nude in modern European art. Blackshaw’s essay ‘Mother Figure’ is published through Elephant.
