The mother, whose gaze is the first mirror not only of the self but of the world that surrounds us, has been a central motif in the history of art. While all very different in originating context (social, geographical, historical) and in formal and aesthetic approach, the works assembled here are united in testifying to more than personal feeling alone. Whether proposing social critique or a quest for the self, manifesting the reality of presence or the void of absence, conjuring consolation or fending off threat, all raise the question of filiation, of what remains.
