Review
Mothers have been around for centuries, and with them, the artists who have interpreted the nature of motherhood with paintbrush, pencil, or makeshift chisel. Susan Bracaglia Tobey, a former curatorial assistant at the Whitney Museum of American Art and researcher at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has lovingly compiled 180 pages of mothers and children in art. The abundant full-color images of works, ranging from pre-Columbian stone carvings to Mark Chagall's Pregnant Woman, are accompanied by lively interpretations of each piece in its historical context.
Tobey writes in the introduction, "... I hope that other new as well as seasoned mothers and grandmothers will find pleasure and recognition, as I did, in the timelessness of an unusually tender Picasso, the humor of Japan's incomparable Utamoro, the insight and emotion that the best of these images have to offer. Even more emphatically, I hope that this collection of images celebrating motherhood will affirm for women who have made this choice the enormous value of their role as mothers."
