Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Nancy Spero, from the "Protest" episode in Season 4 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Protest" premiered in November 2007 on PBS.

For decades, Nancy Spero has drawn from the political to create compelling works of art that make a statement against war, the abuse of power and our male-dominated society. Regarding her paintings made during the Vietnam War, Spero says: “I guess maybe my art can be said to be a protest…The War paintings are certainly a protest because it was done with indignation.”

Nancy Spero was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1926. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/nancy-spero
