Whitney Chadwick Książki

Fascynujące wprowadzenie do historii uwikłania kobiet w sztukę 'Książka ta w zamierzeniu ma być og�lnym wprowadzeniem do historii aktywności kobiet na polu sztuki. Omawiam w niej artystki, kt�re zdecydowały się zająć profesjonalnie malarstwem, rzeźbą bądź inną dziedziną, oraz ideologie, kt�re narzucają kobietom taki a nie inny rodzaj produkcji i przedstawiania. Staram się w niej także rozpoznać najważniejsze problemy i nowe kierunki badań, kt�re mają szansę wzbogacić studia historyczne na temat artystek i podsumować wyniki prac opublikowanych do tej pory. Skupienie się na zagadnieniach pojawiających się jednocześnie w dw�ch obszarach tematycznych - kobieta jako tw�rczyni i kobieta jako przedmiot przedstawienia - pozwala objaśnić dyskursy, kt�re wykuwały i rozpowszechniały idee odnoszące się do kobiet i kobiecości w określonych momentach historii. Właśnie w miejscu przecięcia się tw�rczości i reprezentacji uświadamiamy sobie bowiem to, co nie zostało przedstawione lub powiedziane, czyli wszystkie opuszczenia i przemilczenia, kt�re ujawniają potęgę ideologii kulturowej.' - z Przedmowy autorki

This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement.

Charts the evolution of feminist art history and pedagogy since the 1970s, revealing how artists have developed and subverted the strategies of feminism. This title includes a discussion of some of the significant international women artists.

This acclaimed study challenges the assumption that great women artists are exceptions to the rule who transcended their sex to produce major works of art. While acknowledging the many women whose contributions to visual culture since the Middle Ages have often been neglected, Whitney Chadwick's survey reexamines the works themselves and the ways in which they have been perceived as marginal, often in direct reference to gender. In her discussion of feminism and its influence on such a reappraisal, the author also addresses the closely related issues of ethnicity, class, and sexuality. This expanded edition incorporates recent developments in contemporary art. Chadwick addresses the turn toward autobiography in much recent women's art. She considers issues such as the personal versus the political and the private versus the public, and analyzes the differences between women's art today and the seminal feminist work of the 1970s and 1980s.

Discusses the collaborative relationships between Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Anais Nin and Henry Miller, and Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West and others

A beautifully written and elegantly constructed narrative that explores the intense, complex and far-reaching female friendships among the Surrealists during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

An eclectic contemporary master of figuration examined through multiple lenses in this career-spanning catalogue Kai Althoff is one of the most consummate--and unpredictable--artists of his generation. A painter and a draftsman, he has experimented since the mid-1990s with combinations of unconventional mediums and exhibition formats to create all-encompassing environments that might include finely detailed drawings, collage, woven textiles, knitted fabric, soft sculpture, paintings, writing, video, fragrance and song. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication presents Althoff’s work in all mediums made over a 25-year career. Created in close collaboration with the artist, the book features lavish color reproductions of Althoff’s most significant works. Contributions by scholars, art professionals and friends of the artist offer multiple perspectives on Althoff’s iconographically rich work.
