Welcome to the seventh annual edition of Bazaar Art, which has at its heart- as always – the women who change the way we look at the world, and explore our
most profound emotions. ‘Art is love,’ observes Elizabeth Peyton, one of the five female
artists who have contributed covers for this year’s issue; and I wholeheartedly concur.
The women who have crafted the magazine – those who work with
endless dedication for Bazaar, and those who freely share their creative
vision with us – have done so with love and integrity. And as such, they
give fresh impetus to the concept of ‘the female gaze’: the validity of a
woman’s perspective in art (and indeed, in a wide range of imaginative
endeavours). I will be forever grateful to everyone who has come
together to create Bazaar Art; and to our audience of readers, for with
reciprocity and mutual respect arises strength, inspiration and the
courage to continue in the quest to understand each other and ourselves.
