- Description
- Numerous American women artists built successful professional careers in the mid-twentieth century while confronting challenging cultural transitions: shifts in stylistic avant-gardism, harsh political transformations, and changing gender expectations for both women and men. However, while a few women working during these decades have gained significant recognition, many others are still consigned to historical obscurity. The essays in this volume take varied approaches to revising this historical silence. Two focus on evidence of gender biases in several exhibitions and contemporary critical writings: the rest discuss individual artists’ complex relationships to mainstream developments, with attention to gender and political biases, cultural innovations, and the influence of racial/ethnic diversity. Several also explore new interpretative directions to open alternative possibilities for evaluating women’s aesthetic and formal choices.

Conaty: Gender, modern art, and native women painters in the first half of the 20th century / Cynthia Fowler.

- Description
- With lips slightly parted and eyes fixed on a point in the distance, a breathtaking marble portrait of Costanza Piccolomini appears alive. Carved by Gianlorenzo Bernini in 1636–37 for his own pleasure, the portrait of Costanza is one of his most captivating works, but until now little has been known about its subject. For centuries Costanza was identified only as Bernini's mistress, who later incited his rage by betraying him for his brother. McPhee corrects this story in her biography of a sculpture and its subject. This book sets the bust and Costanza's own life against the backdrop of Baroque Rome.

- Description
- Van Geel laat zien hoe Saoedische vrouwen hun leven vormgeven, waar ze van dromen en waar ze mee worstelen, hoe ze denken over de kloof tussen mannen en vrouwen, hoe ze verliefd worden en hoe ze tegen het Westen aankijken. Ze bewijst dat het onmogelijk is Saoedi-Arabië te begrijpen zonder de positie van de vrouw te snappen. .Ze ontmoet studentes, vrouwenrechtenactivistes, kunstenaressen, zakenvrouwen en oma's. Vanuit allerlei invalshoeken belicht Van Geel Saoedische visies op onderwerpen als het geloof, de positie van de vrouw en het wel of niet hebben van gelijke rechten. Ze schrijft over daten op z'n Saoedisch, kunst, de religieuze politie, sociale media en lingeriewinkels.

- Description
- The author explores the verbal and visual techniques of five cartoonists - Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Phoebe Gloeckner, Phoebe Gloeckner, Marjane Satrapi, and Alison Bechdel -, which have transformed autobiographical narrative and contemporary comics. Through the interplay of words and images, and the counterpoint of presence and absence, they express stories while engaging with the workings of memory. Aline Kominsky-Crumb is a pioneer of the autobiographical form, showing women's everyday lives, especially through the lens of the body. Phoebe Gloeckner places teenage sexuality at the center of her work, while Lynda Barry uses collage and the empty spaces between frames to capture the process of memory. Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis experiments with visual witness to frame her personal and historical narrative, and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home meticulously incorporates family documents by hand to re-present the author's past.
