Description
in 1971, art historian Linda Nochlin published a groundbreaking essay that, for many art historians, began the work of feminist art history. She titled her piece by referencing art dealer Richard Feigen’s question to her: “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” The essay was Nochlin’s attempt to respond to Feigen’s question while analyzing the gendered, institutional discrimination in art history, and historically, in making art and the discussions on the pioneers of the avant-garde and modernity.Actress Jemima Kirke reviews in the Tate-video Nochlin’s analysis in terms of the challenges involved in addressing the lack of women in art history in general. Clark and Folgo demonstrate the applicability of the analysis to textbooks, and bell hooks shows to what extent museums contributed to this systemic discrimination in terms of representation and equal access.Post an image of your favorite painting below (including the technical details underneath the painting i.e. the artist’s name, the medium used, size of the painting and its current repository). Write a proofread art historical analysis (c. 350 words) detailing the formal properties, the historical and personal context in response to how the artist (or your chosen painting) relates to this conversation on the avant-garde and modernity in terms of representation, identity, and the subject positions of “gender,” “ethnicity,” “age,” and “race.” Use the material for the week as your background and take into account as many angles as you can in analyzing the work. Refer directly to the texts in your analysis, adding at least two (2) direct citations (quoted sentences with source references) to your analysis to strengthen and support your viewpoint.
