Dotty ATTIE (b. 1938, Pennsauken, NJ) is an american painter and printmaker. She has been exhibiting in museums and galleries worldwide since the 1970s. Attie’s work in the 1960s received some attention, but gained far more recognition after her involvement in A.I.R. Gallery. In 1971, she was one of the co-founders of A.I.R., a non-profit cooperative gallery and one of the first to exclusively feature the work of women artists. As an early artist-member, she helped the group to choose a gallery space and recruit members. She had her first solo show at the gallery in 1972. Later, Attie was an integral part of the gallery's establishment of an international presence, and helped to secure shows in Paris, Israel and Japan.
While still a member of A.I.R., Attie began to solidify her personal style, which remained fairly consistent throughout her career; she typically deconstructed existing images (such as Old Master paintings and early 20th Century black-and-white photographs) and her works often included text to create a narrative. Therefore, some of her works contain small pictures that were copied from other, sometimes famous, works by Caravaggio, Gustave Courbet, Thomas Eakins, and Ingres. Some of these pictures have been taken from the backgrounds of earlier works, bringing new perspectives to features which may have been formerly overshadowed. This produces a quality of differing scale, paired with short segments of text, which creates a cinematic quality throughout. The text and pictures are related, but do not contribute to a clear narrative, allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks left by the artist. Furthermore, her multi-panel paintings explore the depictions of the body in the history of art and critique the gender bias in the art world. Because Attie, at times, has meticulously repainted well-known works but presented them in fragments or with other modifications, her work has addressed the concepts of originality and reproduction.
Attie's work is often characterized by her identification with feminism. She has explained, that feminism “means no barriers between what a woman chooses to do, and what is acceptable by societal and familial standards.” These ideals are present in her work, which often contains manipulated images of women that accentuate their vulnerability, often featuring acts of a sexual nature.
Attie's paintings are in the collections of MoMA; Whitney Museum of American Art; Brooklyn Museum and many others. In addition to numerous honors in the art world, such as her induction into the National Academy in 2013, Attie has the unusual distinction of having a punk rock band named after her; the female-led indie quartet Dottie Attie, based in Portland (Oregon) formed in 2013.  
Dotty Attie lives and works in NY (USA).
