Description

Rosemary Betterton. How have women artists taken possession of the female body? What is the relationship between looking & embodiment in art made by women? In a series of original readings of the work of artists from Kathe Kollwitz & Georgia O’Keeffe to Helen Chadwick & Laura Godfrey Issacs, Betterton explores how women artists have addressed the changing relationship between women, the body & its representation in art. Women’s art practices offer new ways of engaging with our fascinations & fears of the female body. Drawing on theories of embodiment, the essays reveal how the boundaries between nature & culture, the female body & technology are being crossed in the work of women artists. 50 illustrations.
