Personal and collective female experiences inspired Miriam Schapiro’s work, even before she became involved in the feminist movement in 1970. Reflecting on the challenges faced by women artists in a male-dominated art world, Schapiro abandoned her expressionistic canvases for hard-edged paintings like Another Red Room. Not only did such works establish her among the male artists seen nearby, they also asserted her as a pioneer. For example, Schapiro used computer modeling to experiment with three-dimensional perspective, creating a unique sense of space in her work. Among the first artists to use a computer, she plotted points and lines in three-dimensions and then transferred them to canvas, where they create visual dynamism and evoke movement.72.2
