Download or read book Stop Telling Women to Smile written by Tatyana Fazlalizadeh and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debut book from a celebrated artist on the urgent topic of street harassment Every day, all over the world, women are catcalled and denigrated simply for walking down the street. Boys will be boys, women have been told for generations, ignore it, shrug it off, take it as a compliment. But the harassment has real consequences for women: in the fear it instills and the shame they are made to feel. In Stop Telling Women to Smile, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be homes. She addresses the pervasiveness of street harassment, its effects, and the kinds of activism that can serve to counter it. The result is a cathartic reckoning with the aggression women endure, and an examination of what equality truly entails.

Download or read book Line Drawings written by Cressida Heyes and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of feminist theory lies the seemingly intractable issue of essentialism. Feminism has thus far failed to transcend critiques of essentialism and currently offers only two inadequate positions against it. One response reifies the category "women," representing the experience of oppression of privileged women as archetypal for feminism, and the other denies the category because it unjustly overgeneralizes, thus undercutting the possibility of a robust theory of gender oppression. To spur anti-essentialist methods and practice around such issues as sexual violence, feminist theory crucially needs a constructive and politically powerful strategy for defining women.Cressida J. Heyes deftly elucidates and then travels beyond the essentialism debates to rescue the efficacy of feminist theory for activism and research. She offers a genealogy of essentialism, specifically as it applies to the work of Carol Gilligan and Catharine MacKinnon, and employs a Wittgensteinian approach to feminism that understands similarities between women as family resemblances and political decisions about inclusion and exclusion as contextual and purposive. Line Drawings argues for an anti-essentialist method that enables generalizing feminist discourse but insists on paying close attention to the operations of power in constructing claims about women. This is a fresh and vitally important step past stymied debate on what is arguably the most pressing issue in cross-disciplinary feminist theory.

Download or read book Goya written by Janis A. Tomlinson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) created magnificent paintings, tapestry designs, prints, and drawings over the course of his long and productive career. Women frequently appeared as the subjects of Goya's works, from his brilliantly painted cartoons for the Royal Tapestry Factory to his stunning portraits of some of the most powerful women in Madrid. This groundbreaking book is the first to examine the representations of women within Goya's multifaceted art, and in so doing, it sheds new light on the evolution of his artistic creativity as well as on the roles assumed by women in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Spain. Many of Goya's most famous works are featured and explicated in this beautifully designed and produced book. The artist's famous tapestry cartoons are included, along with the tapestries woven after them for the royal palaces of the Prado and the Escorial. Goya's infamous Naked Maja and Clothed Maja are also highlighted, with a discussion on whether these works were painted at the same time and how they might have originally hung in relation to one another. Focus is also placed on Goya's more experimental prints and drawings, in which the artist depicted women alternatively as targets of satire, of sympathy, or of admiration. Essays by eminent authorities provide a historical and cultural context for Goya's work, including a discussion on the significance of fashion and dress during the period. The resultant volume is surely to be treasured by all who admire Goya's art and by those who are interested in women's issues of his time.

Download or read book Old Mistresses written by Rozsika Parker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is everything that compromises greatness in art coded as 'feminine'? Has the feminist critique of Art History yet effected real change? With a new preface by Griselda Pollock, this edition of a truly groundbreaking book offers a radical challenge to a women-free Art History. Parker and Pollock's critique of Art History's sexism leads to expanded, inclusive readings of the art of the past. They demonstrate how the changing historical social realities of gender relations and women artists' translation of gendered conditions into their works provide keys to novel understandings of why we might study the art of the past. They go further to show how such knowledge enables us to understand art by contemporary artists who are women and can contribute to the changing self-perception and creative work of artists today. In March 2020 Griselda Pollock was awarded the Holberg Prize in recognition of her outstanding contribution to research and her influence on thinking on gender, ideology, art and visual culture worldwide for over 40 years. Old Mistresses was her first major scholarly publication which has become a classic work of feminist art history.

Download or read book Botero written by Fernando Botero and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most popular artists alive today, Fernando Botero creates paintings with a powerful monumentality that immediately captures the viewer. The joyfully rotund humans who populate his canvasses are among the most recognizable figures in twentieth-century art. But it is women in particular who have always fascinated Botero and make up the core of his long career. This deluxe volume, the first devoted solely to this theme, includes 50 unpublished works and a total of more than 150 paintings, drawings and sketches. With their bulbous figures and solid flesh, Botero's women evoke a primal sensuality and voluptuousness. But, they are also betrayed with a playful sense of humor and underlying irony. Never voyeuristic, his paintings are more complex celebrations of the female form - its palpable plentitude, its sensual exuberance, and its impenetrable mystery." -- back cover.

Download or read book Some Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On November 8, 2019 I gave myself an assignment to make ink drawings. I have been teaching for 15 years and have never applied this medium in my own practice. In my drawing classes, I ask my students to buy ink and a quill pen set. I am completely seduced by the line quality of the quill pen. It never fails me. There is nothing like it. I was already working on two long-term projects in my studio, but I wanted to start on a new project -- something more immediate. That's when I began making quick ink drawings. They didn't need to mean anything special. They could be simple and small and live in a box. I wanted something I could work on at my kitchen table - something to do if I couldn't make it to the studio. I posted the first drawing on Instagram on November 8, 2019 and asked people to send me postcards with images of women depicted throughout art history and images of work by women artists. About a dozen people sent me postcards or digital images. I had also started looking through a book given to me decades ago by my grandmother's friend, a Time Life Library of Art book called American Painting 1900-1970. This book was a good example of what I was taught in school. It mentions only three women artists. With the drawings I made from this book I started to examine how women are depicted in art made by men. The images I selected to redraw focused on the female body. I began to notice what the women were doing, how they were sexualized, and what the narrative revealed. I thought about what I had been taught in Art History--what I knew, what I didn't know, and also what I didn't know how to find for myself as a white lesbian. Why were there so many men showing me what the women were doing? Where were all the women artists? This collection of drawings is not all inclusive--however, I knew I wanted to start with images of women portrayed by male artists, and include work by queer artists and artists of color. I am not an art historian, I make pictures--through looking, remaking, questioning, and repositioning images to understand the world around me. The creative process often raises more questions than answers. I used some of the images that were sent to me, and I also researched to find others. I finished the last drawing on March 28, 2020. I made a total of 160 drawings and tore up five. This project was exactly what I wanted--the drawings filled up a box, which in turn filled me up. This project introduced a new medium into my practice and made me aware of new artists. It made me slow down and look at every little part of these pictures of art from the past. I saw women doing housework, dealing with motherhood, being angry and violent, being strong, protesting, and being sexual. After completing about 90 drawings, I realized I needed to archive them in a catalog. At the very least, this is a short art history lesson. I wish for you to experience three things with this collection of drawings: 1) You see what is going on, 2) You cry and then laugh, 3) You move forward with strength."--artist website
