The show featured the work of Norma Bessouet (1940-2018), an Argentine-American artist. Bessouet worked with painting, sculpture, and woodworking. She is perhaps best-known for her portrait paintings, depictions of domestic life and the female nude, and wooden dolls. Aida Caballo and the Sienese School were a central influences on her art. The exhibition showcased paintings inspired by Bessouet's travels to India. Many of the paintings depict surreal portraits of girls and women in the context of Indian culture and landscapes.
