Sinopsis

Continuing her feminist reconceptualisation of the ways we can experience and study the visual arts, world renowned art historian and cultural analyst, Griselda Pollock proposes a series of new encounters through virtual exhibitions with art made by women over the twentieth century. Challenging the dominant museum models of art and history that have been so exclusive of womenâÇÖs artistic contributions to the twentieth century, the virtual feminist museum stages some of the complex relations between femininity, modernity and representation. Griselda Pollock drawsáon the models of both Aby WarburgâÇÖs Mnemosyne Atlas and FreudâÇÖs private museum of antiquities as well as EttingerâÇÖs concept of subjectivity as encounter to propose a differencing journey through time, space and archive. Featuring studies of Canova âÇÖs Three Graces and women artistâÇÖs modernist reclamations of the female body, the book traverses the rupture of fascism and the Holocaust and ponders the significance of painting and drawing in their aftermath. Artists featured include: Georgia OâÇÖKeeffe, Josephine Baker, Gluck, Charlotte Salomon, Bracha Ettinger andáChristine Taylor Patten.
