Book Description

Series: Interplay, Arts, History, Theory | Publication Date: May 1, 1999

Women - as warriors, workers, mothers, sensual women, even absent mothers - haunt 19th- and 20th-century Western painting. This text brings together Linda Nochlin's most important and pioneering writings on the subject, as she considers work by Miller, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas, Seurat, Cassatt and Kollwitz, among many others. In her partly autobiographical, extended introduction, she argues for the honest virtues of an art history which rejects methodological assumptions, and for art historians who investigate the work before their eyes while focusing on its subject matter, informed by a sensitivity to its feminist spirit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did they pay Nochlin by the letter?, October 21, 2009

Eli Hernandez, Jr (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Representing Women (Paperback)

Overall, this book is very informative. As good as it is, the thing I kept getting hung up on was the very verbose way in which Nochlin had to emphasize and re-emphasize every point. At times it felt like she opened up a thesaurus and changed out the common sense words with $25 words. I definitely have a different view of the feminist art movement.
