      Miss Franklin, who spent last summer in Sweden and has conducted these classes in design for teaches and one for younger people, will show with the work inspired by the peasant arts, a number of her own painting which have recently been exhibited at the International Exhibition of Water Color Paintings at the Museum and the Annual Exhibition of the National Association of the Women Painters and Sculptors.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
