"Tuttomondo" 1979  by Keith Haring.

The year is 1979, and the art scene is bursting with creativity and new ideas. One notable piece from this year is "Tuttomondo" by Keith Haring. Created in Pisa, Italy, this mural stands as a powerful testament to Haring's unique style and enduring legacy. As the world grapples with social and political changes, Haring's work resonates deeply. His bold lines and dynamic figures convey a sense of urgency and hope, reflecting the tumultuous times of the late 1970s. Against the backdrop of Cold War tensions and civil unrest, Haring's art serves as a beacon of light and optimism. "Tuttomondo," which translates to "All World," is a testament to Haring's belief in the universality of art. The mural features a diverse array of figures – from dancing figures to radiant hearts – symbolizing unity and diversity in a world plagued by division. In a time marked by cultural shifts and artistic experimentation, Haring's fusion of graffiti and pop art represents a unique blend of high and low culture. His bold colors and playful imagery challenge conventional notions of art and invite viewers to contemplate the deeper meaning behind his work. As we navigate the complexities of the late 1970s, "Tuttomondo" stands as a timeless reminder of the power of art to inspire change and transcend boundaries. Keith Haring's indelible mark on the art world continues to resonate with audiences around the globe, making "Tuttomondo" a symbol of hope and unity in an ever-changing world. - Inspiring City

The Dinner Party" by feminist artist Judy Chicago

This year, 1979, is shaping up to be a terrific year for female artists. One that I think is absolutely delightful is "The Dinner Party" by feminist artist Judy Chicago. The artwork was just completed this year after five years of work. It represents a huge dinner table with 39 settings, each dedicated to a remarkable woman from history. On these settings, there are plates showcasing the accomplishments of these women in areas like art, literature, science, and activism. Judy Chicago created this artwork to emphasize the often overlooked roles of women in history and to ensure their voices and experiences are celebrated.

 'The Dinner Party' stirred many mixed reactions upon its debut. While some praised its innovative approach to feminist art, others criticized its bold representations of historical figures. But even though people had different opinions, it made many think about inequality and diversity in the arts. It's seen as an important feminist artwork, celebrating the power and creativity of women. The artwork serves as a reminder of women's enduring strength and contributions over time. It challenges us to reconsider whose stories are valued and whose voices are elevated in today`s cultural society. Since its debut this year, "The Dinner Party" has become a symbol of empowerment and advocacy and shows how art can transform our understanding of both the past and the present, inviting us to reflect on the importance of inclusion and representation in our shared history. - Anita Williams
