Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime (Paperback)

In her feminist inquiry into aesthetics and the sublime, Claire
Raymond reinterprets the work of the American photographer
Francesca Woodman (1958-1981). Placing Woodman in a lineage of
women artists beginning with nineteenth-century photographers Julia
Margaret Cameron and Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden, Raymond
compels a reconsideration of Woodman's achievement in light of the
gender dynamics of the sublime. Raymond argues that Woodman's
photographs of decrepit architecture allegorically depict the
dissolution of the frame, a dissolution Derrida links to theories
of the sublime in Kant's Critique of Judgement. Woodman's
self-portraits, Raymond contends, test the parameters of the gaze,
a reading that departs from the many analyses of Woodman's work
that emphasize her dramatic biography. Woodman is here revealed as
a conceptually sophisticated artist whose deployment of allegory
and allusion engages a broader debate about Enlightenment
aesthetics, and the sublime.
