Whitney Chadwick Bücher

Dieses Standardwerk schildert auf mehr als 500 Seiten, wissenschaftlich fundiert und reich bebildert, die unterschiedlichen Rollen der Frau in der Welt der Kunst. Es spannt den Bogen vom Mittelalter bis in das 21. Jahrhundert und richtet sich an ein breites Publikum. Der Autorin gelingt es hervorragend, einen umfassenden Einblick in ein aktuelles Thema der Kunstgeschichte zu geben. Mit dem Buch entstand gewissermaßen ein Kanon weiblichen Kunstschaffens, der neben scharfsinnigen Neubewertungen auch von der bisherigen Forschung vernachlässigte Werke aufnimmt. Somit spiegelt Whitney Chadwick auf unnachahmliche Weise die von Künstlerinnen seit dem späten Mittelalter bis heute geführte Diskussion um Geschlechterrollen wider.

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.
