reviewed Feminism and Art History: Questioning the Litany on September 15, 2015 Feminism and Art History: Questioning the Litany
It took me a while to get through, but it was worth the effort. Some of the chapters made mediocre arguments, probably due to length constraints; however others were utterly fascinating, giving me new perspectives.
I write "new" although the book is from the early 1980s- just before I started taking art history classes.
One chapter, "Degas' Misogyny" was particularly enlightening. The author argued with wit and practiced academic writing that Degas, while irascible, did not hate women. Indeed, in the 90s and perhaps the 00s, Degas was still considered a misogynist.
The book makes me want to rush down to the Metropolitan Museum and look at some of their paintings in a new way. While I'm quite sensitive to (and angry about) the continued overwhelming bias towards male artists in museums (and art criticism in general), looking at the work that is there in a new way will keep my head fresh and my heart open.
Read it.
