McCormack Catherine Women in the Picture. Women, Art and the Power of Looking

A bold reconsideration of women in art - from the 'Old Masters' to the posts of Instagram influencers. A perfect pin-up, a damsel in distress, a saintly mother, a femme fatale… Women's identity has long been stifled by a limited set of archetypes, found everywhere in pictures from art history's classics to advertising, while women artists have been overlooked and held back from shaping more empowering roles. In this impassioned book, art historian Catherine McCormack asks us to look again at what these images have told us to value, opening up our most loved images - from those of Titian and Botticelli to Picasso and the Pre-Raphaelites. She also shows us how women artists - from Berthe Morisot to Beyonce, Judy Chicago to Kara Walker - have offered us new ways of thinking about women's identity, sexuality, race and power. Women in the Picture gives us new ways of seeing the art of the past and the familiar images of today so that we might free women from these restrictive roles and embrace the breadth of women's vision.

Ferren Gipson. Women's Work. From feminine arts to feminist art

Прославление искусства, которое традиционно обесценивается как слишком домашнее или женское, чтобы его можно было воспринимать всерьез, и новаторских, блестящих художников, возвращающих идею женского труда».Праздник новаторских, блестящих художников, возвращающих идею «женской работы». В истории западного искусства декоративно-прикладное искусство – лоскутное шитье, вышивка, керамика – были девальвированы, отделены от «высоких искусств» живописи и скульптуры и считались более подходящими для женщин.Но художники начали восстанавливать и переопределять эти так называемые малые искусства, наполняя их видением, воображением и выражением женского опыта. «Женская работа» рассказывает историю этих радикальных перемен, выделяя художников, которые осмелились бросить вызов давней иерархии и которые посредством экспериментов, изобретений и утверждения идентичности изменили свою среду. Работы этих женщин переписали историю искусства, превратив женский труд из унизительной оценки в повод для праздника. Благодаря биографическим записям о каждом представленном художнике, а также прекрасным изображениям их работ, журнал Women's Work поднимает творчество этих дальновидных и новаторских художников, рассказывая их истории и исследуя их художественное наследие.A celebration of art traditionally devalued as too domestic or feminine to be taken seriously and the innovative, brilliant artists reclaiming the idea of women's work'.A celebration of the innovative, brilliant artists reclaiming the idea of 'women's work'. In the history of western art, decorative and applied arts - quilting, embroidery, ceramics - were devalued, separated from the 'high arts' of painting and sculpture and deemed more suitable for women.But artists began to reclaim and redefine these so-called lesser arts, energizing them with vision, imagination and the expression of the female experience. Women's Work tells the story of this radical change, highlighting the artists who dared to defy the long-standing hierarchy and who, through, experimentation, invention and assertion of identity, transformed their medium. The work of these women has rewritten the history of art, turning women's work from a demeaning assessment into a cause for celebration. With biographical entries on each artist featured, as well as beautiful images of their artworks, Women's Work raises up the work of these visionary and groundbreaking artists, telling their stories and examining their artistic legacies.
