- Description
- Author draws on the gendered effects of the solidification of an unsettled competitive art market around a modern gallery and dealer system in the 1890s, and traces the shifts in critical discourse paralleling the changes in the market, particularly investigating the rise of the ideal of the virile artist. In the final chapter avant-garde women seek to find a place within this highly masculinized formation.
