Series: Understanding Feminist Philosophy

Carolyn Korsmeyer This fully illustrated introductory text looks at the key theories and thinkers within art from a philosophical viewpoint. Focusing on the role gender plays, the book covers the most pertinent topics within feminist aesthetics.

Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds, UK Continuing her feminist reconceptualization of the ways we can experience and study the visual arts, world renowned art historian and cultural analyst, Griselda Pollock proposes a series of new encounters through virtual exhibitions with art made by women over the twentieth century. Challenging the dominant museum models of art and history that have been so exclusive of women’s artistic contributions to the twentieth century, the virtual feminist museum stages some of the complex relations between femininity, modernity and representation. Griselda Pollock draws on the models of both Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas and Freud’s private museum of antiquities as well as Ettinger’s concept of subjectivity as encounter to propose a differencing journey through time, space and archive. Featuring studies of Canova’s Three Graces and women artist’s modernist reclamations of the female body, the book traverses the rupture of fascism and the Holocaust and ponders the significance of painting and drawing in their aftermath.
