However, in the 1970s, a significant shift occurred, and female artists began to explore their own visual representations of themselves. This volume, featuring a diverse range of work from both well-known and under-the-radar artists, delves into the pioneering achievements of the Feminist Avant-Garde. Editor Gabriele Schor explores the role of these artists in shaping the last four decades of art. The results are thought-provoking, radical, poetic, ironic, angry, cynical, and heartfelt, sharing a collective consciousness that reassesses and even rejects what came before by embracing new ways of expression in photography, performance, film, and video.\u003cbr\u003eThe book includes works by Cindy Sherman, Ana Mendieta, Nil Yalter, Ketty La Rocca, Birgit Jürgenssen, Renate Bertlmann, Francesca Woodman, and other fearless female artists from around the world. Their work explores the female experience in all its dimensions, including pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, sexuality, partnership, beauty standards, rape, and the female body. Each artist is introduced by an essay, and the book also includes fascinating interviews with leading curators in the field of feminist art.\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking book celebrates the accomplishments of women artists who have made a name for themselves while encouraging and inspiring those who have come after them. It highlights the importance of challenging traditional gender roles and creating a more inclusive and diverse art world. By exploring the Feminist Avant-Garde, we can gain a deeper understanding of the role of women in art and the impact they have had on society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2888g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 291 x 243 x 51 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783791359717\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabriele Schor","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47252872298746,"sku":"9783791359717","price":40.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1744370409876_book.jpg?v=1744462701","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/feminist-avantgarde-art-of-the-1970s-in-the-verbund-collection-vienna-9783791359717","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
