Mira Schor is an American painter and theorist whose work emerges from a sustained engagement with abstraction, figuration, and the politics of representation. Born in 1950, she has developed a practice that interrogates the legibility of the female body and gesture within modernist painting traditions. Her paintings combine gestural marks, translucent veils of color, and fragmented figurative elements, often incorporating text and collage. Schor's writing on art history and feminist critique has been integral to her artistic method, establishing her as both a maker and a critical voice within postwar art discourse.
