Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi's La Pittura (Self-portrait as the allegory of painting) presents the artist embodying the classical allegorical representation of Painting, seen in the dramatic mask worn around Gentileschi's neck which Painting often carries. The artist's focus on her work, away from the viewer, highlights the drama of the Baroque period, and the changing role of the artist from craftsperson to singular innovator.

Helen Lee Helen Lee is a Korean-American artist, glassblower, designer, and educator. She is currently an associate professor and Head of Glass and University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has previously taught and lead workshops at the Rhode Island School of Design and the California College of Art, Toyama City Institute of Glass Art, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Pilchuck Glass School, the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio, and the MIT Glass Lab. Her work deals themes of language, and the exploration of spaces of boundary, transformation, and duality. She often explores rendering letters in glass, such as typographic glass forms, and her Alpha-Zanfirico twisty canes, designed using MIT's VirtualGlass program, which when cross-sectioned reveal lowercase letters in black.

Education and Career Lee received a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design with a concentrations in Architectural design and writing from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She went on to receive a Master of Arts with a concentration in Glass from the Rhode Island School of Design. Lee has worked as a designer for over ten years.
