French Women Orientalist Artists, 1861-1956 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Only one female artist, Henriette Browne 1829-1901, has been recognised in the canon of French Orientalist art. Beyond Browne, existing scholarship has not given due consideration to the impact of female art on French Orientalism; as a result women artists have been omitted from the Orientalist canon in France. Through empirical research, Mary Healy has databased primary documents relating to eighty-six women artists whose works of art can be placed in the canon of French Orientalism between 1860 and 1968. Many of these women, such as Marie Lucas-Robiquet (1858-1959) and Jeanne Thil (1887-1968), were highly successful artists in their day; yet, today, little to nothing is known about their artistic contributions. Forgotten French Women Orientalist Artists 1860-1968: Cross-Cultural Contacts and Western Depictions of Difference is the first full-length study dedicated to these women artists and the analyses of their Orientalist works of art. In addition to building on existing Orientalist scholarship, the database of French women Orientalists forms the basis of new theoretical frameworks which cross the disciplines of art history, culture studies and representation, colonial history, gender studies and post-colonial theory. Utilising an interdisciplinary approach in the interpretation of women's art, Healy not only aims to re-evaluate the field of French Orientalism, but also to contribute new art historical findings concerning east/west cross-cultural dialogues at the intersection of gender and cultural difference.

French Women Orientalist Artists, 1861–1956 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is the first full-length study dedicated to French women Orientalist artists. Mary Kelly has gathered primary documentation relating to seventy-two women artists whose works of art can be placed in the canon of French Orientalism between 1861 and 1956. Bringing these artists together for the first time and presenting close contextual analyses of works of art, attention is given to artists’ cross-cultural interactions with painted/sculpted representations of the Maghreb particularly in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. Using an interdisciplinary ‘open platform of discussion’ approach, Kelly builds on established theory which places emphases on the gendered gaze. This entails a discussion on women’s painted perspectives of and contacts with Muslim women as well as various Maghrebi cultures and land—all the while remaining mindful of the subject position of the French artist and the problematic issues which can arise when discussing European-made ‘ethnographic’ scenes. Kelly argues that French women’s perspectives of the Maghreb differed from the male gaze and were informed by their artistic training and social positions in Europe. In so doing, French women’s socio-cultural modernity is also examined. Moreover, executed between 1861 and 1956, the works of art presented show influences of Modernism; therefore, this book also pays close attention to progressive Realism and Naturalism in art and the Orientalist shift into Modernist subject matter and form. Through this research into French women Orientalists, Kelly engages with important discussions on the crossing view of the historical female other with the cultural other, artistic hybridity and influence in art as well as the postcolonial response to French activities in colonial Algeria and the protectorates of Tunisia and Morocco. On giving focus to women’s art and the impact of cross-cultural interchanges, this book rethinks Orientalism in French art. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in the history of art, gender studies, history, and Middle Eastern and North African studies.

Download and read online ebook Gender and the Woman Artist in Early Modern Iberia write by Catherine Hall-van den Elsen. This book was released on 2024-01-31. Gender and the Woman Artist in Early Modern Iberia available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This monograph explores the social constructs surrounding artistic production in early modern Iberia through the lenses of gender and class by examining the rarely considered contribution of creative women in Spain and Portugal between 1550 and 1700. Using the life-stage framework popular in texts of the period and drawing on a broad spectrum of materials including conduct guidebooks, treatises and conventual rules, this book examines the constraints imposed by gender-related social structures through microhistories of nuns, married, and unmarried women. The text spans class boundaries in its analysis of the work of painters, engravers, and sculptors, many of whom have until now eluded scholarly attention in English-language publications. An extensive bibliography promotes new avenues of inquiry into women’s contributions to the visual arts of the period. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, women’s history, early modern Iberian studies, and Renaissance studies.

Download and read online ebook Critical and Reflective Intercultural Communication Education write by Fred Dervin. This book was released on 2023-09-19. Critical and Reflective Intercultural Communication Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book provides answers to the following questions: How could visual art support us in reflecting about interculturality critically? When we look at, engage with and experience art, what is it that we can learn, unlearn and relearn about interculturality? The book adds to the multifaceted and multidisciplinary field of intercultural communication education by urging those working on the notion of interculturality (researchers, scholars and students) to give art a place in exploring its complexities. No knowledge background about art (theory) is needed to work through the chapters. The book helps us reflect on ourselves and on our engagement with the world and with others, and learn to ask questions about these elements. The authors draw on anthropology, linguistics, philosophy and sociology to enrich their discussions of critical interculturality.

Download and read online ebook Iconic Works of Art by Feminists and Gender Activists write by Brenda Schmahmann. This book was released on 2021-07-22. Iconic Works of Art by Feminists and Gender Activists available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this book, contributors identify and explore a range of iconic works – "Mistress-Pieces" – that have been made by feminists and gender activists since the 1970s. The first volume for which the defining of iconic feminist art is the raison d’être, its contributors interpret a "Mistress-Piece" as a work that has proved influential in a particular context because of its distinctiveness and relevance. Reinterpreting iconic art by Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta, the authors also offer important insights about works that may be less well known – those by Natalia LL, Tanja Ostojić, Swoon, Clara Menéres, Diane Victor, Usha Seejarim, Ilse Fusková, Phaptawan Suwannakudt □and Tracey Moffatt, among others. While in some instances revealing cross influences between artists working in different frameworks, the publication simultaneously makes evident how social and political factors specific to particular countries had significant impact on the making and reception of art focused on gender. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies and gender studies.
