The Power Of Feminist Art
Since its inception in the early 1970s the Feminist Art movement has presented a challenge to mainstream modernism that has radically transformed the art world. Early feminist art precipitated sweeping and fundamental changes – the conscious designation of female values and experiences as a legitimate basis for the creation of “high” art, the challenge to the hegemony of modernist abstraction by the postmodern appreciation of diversity, as well as the return of serious content – both political and personal – to mainstream art, among others. rnrnThe book documents and defines the critically important originating phase of the movement in the USA, bringing together influential art historians, critics, and artists who participated in the events of the 1970s. It follows the development of the movement as seen in the various feminist organizations, networks, exhibitions, and publications it operated, such as the first feminist art education programs with initiating artists Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, the Womanhouse project or "Women Artists: 1550-1950," a banner exhibition organized in 1976 by art historians Linda Nochlin and Ann Sutherland Harris. Most particularly the book documents the emergence of feminist art in multiple forms like performance art, social protest and public art. The last section of the book traces the ups and downs of the movement, as experienced through the backlash of the 1980s and the resurgence of women's issues in the 1990s.
