From Book News, Inc.
Remedying the historical suppression of many women artists, Anderson makes available literary references to women artists' lives and social milieu and cites illustrations of their work for serious study. Most of the references are
drawn from unindexed sources in books, periodicals, exhibition catalogs and newspapers, accompanied by an illustration guide that directs the reader to specific pictures for further study. Subjects include architects, painters and sculptors since the
Renaissance, photographers, recent artists in performance, video and computer fields, and related areas of feminist aesthetics. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Product Description:
Many women artists throughout history have
generated a brilliant heritage that has been suppressed and left inaccessible for scholarly or public appreciation and study. This book provides a remedy by making available literary references to women artists' lives and social milieu and, more
importantly, citing illustrations of their work for serious study. Most of the references are drawn from unindexed sources in books, periodicals, exhibition catalogs and newspapers, accompanied by an illustration guide that directs the reader to
specific pictures for further study. Subjects include architects, painters and sculptors since the Renaissance, photographers, recent artists in performance, video and computer fields, and related areas of feminist aesthetics. References are annotated if
they represent a major (or only) work of the artist in question.
