Book excerpt: "Art and Gender" includes articles, excerpts, and case studies that address socio-cultural factors influencing the roles of women and men from the perspectives of the visual and performing arts. This text offers perspectives that examine underlying social structures that affect how we define art and artists, and how those structures inspire the art from a perspective of gender. This text draws upon gender in its several and varied permutations as a vehicle for discussing and understanding the arts, culture, and society.

This text explores select social, political, aesthetic, and economic factors that influence ways cultures define art and artists in gendered terms. Readers are encouraged to adopt a critical perspective regarding the arts, gender, and culture.

Book excerpt: In this intriguing book, a diverse collection of case studies sheds light on the effects of gender issues on the study of art history. Encompassing European art, architecture, and design from the sixteenth century to the present day, the book examines the role of gender difference in the production, consumption, and interpretation of works of art. The authors explore both the work of women artists and the ways that visual representation by both female and male artists may be gendered. The book opens with an examination of works by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian women artists, focusing on the conventions of feminine portraiture of the time. This is followed by studies of the role of gender within academic art practice, with attention to the work of women artists associated with the academies of France and England. In a section devoted to the relationship between gender and cultural authority in Britain, the authors consider seventeenth-century architecture and nineteenth-century art and design.

Download or read book Contemporary Art and Feminism written by Jacqueline Millner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new book examines contemporary art while foregrounding the key role feminism has played in enabling current modes of artmaking, spectatorship and theoretical discourse. Contemporary Art and Feminism carefully argues the links between feminist theory and practice of the last four decades of contemporary art and offers a radical re-reading of the contemporary movement. Rather than focus on filling in the gaps of accepted histories by 'adding' the 'missing' female, queer, First Nations and women artists of colour, the authors seek to revise broader understandings of contemporary practice providing case studies contextualised in a robust art historical and theoretical basis. Readers are encouraged to see where art ideas come from and evaluate past and present art strategies. What strategies, materials or tropes are less relevant in today's networked, event-driven art economies? What strategies and themes should we keep hold of, or develop in new ways? This is a significant and innovative intervention ideal for students in courses on contemporary art within Fine Arts, Visual Studies, History of Art, Gender Studies and Queer Studies.

Download or read book Abstract Bodies written by David J. Getsy and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original and theoretically astute, Abstract Bodies is the first book to apply the interdisciplinary field of transgender studies to the discipline of art history. It recasts debates around abstraction and figuration in 1960s art through a discussion of gender’s mutability and multiplicity. In that decade, sculpture purged representation and figuration but continued to explore the human as an implicit reference. Even as the statue and the figure were left behind, artists and critics asked how the human, and particularly gender and sexuality, related to abstract sculptural objects that refused the human form. This book examines abstract sculpture in the 1960s that came to propose unconventional and open accounts of bodies, persons, and genders. Drawing on transgender and queer theory, David J. Getsy offers innovative and archivally rich new interpretations of artworks by and critical writing about four major artists—Dan Flavin (1933–1996), Nancy Grossman (b. 1940), John Chamberlain (1927–2011), and David Smith (1906–1965). Abstract Bodies makes a case for abstraction as a resource in reconsidering gender’s multiple capacities and offers an ambitious contribution to this burgeoning interdisciplinary field.
