- Description
- Forced to become self-supporting by financial panics and civil war, thousands of young women moved to New York City between 1850 and 1880 to pursue careers as professional artists. At the Cooper Union School of Design for Women they were imbued with the Unity of Art ideas, an aestetic ideology that made no distinction between fine and applied arts or male and female abilities.The women became painters, designers, engravers, colorists, and art teachers. What their letters, documents, and artwork reveal is that for one brief generation women could realize their potentials as artists. This book recovers that moment. The book also tells the story of how art is used to create, alter, and justify a nation's political economy. It is women artists' chronicle of both the liberating and the destructive effects of capitalist production in a democratic society.

- Description
- This transnational volume examines innovative women artists who were from, or worked in, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sápmi, and Sweden from the emergence of modernism until the feminist movement took shape in the 1960s. The book addresses the culturally specific conditions that shaped Nordic artists’ contributions, the critical reception, aesthetic contributions and the mechanisms and structures that affected women artists and their work, while suggesting alternative ways of constructing women’s art histories.
Artists covered include Else Alfelt, Pia Arke, Franciska Clausen, Jessie Kleemann, Hilma af Klint, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Greta Knutson, Aase Texmon Rygh, Hannah Ryggen, Júlíana Sveinsdóttir, Ellen Thesleff, and Astri Aasen.
