Generations and Geographies in the Visual Arts: Feminist Readings (Paperback)

This text brings together a collection of artists, curators, critics and researchers to consider the question of sexual difference and its significance in the production and reception of visual representation by women artists. "Generations" indicates a sense of awareness of the historical and political positioning of women whereas "Geographies" calls attention to their location in terms of nationality, imperialism, migration, exile, diaspora and social difference. Drawing on a range of current theoretical perspectives, works by women artists of the 20th century are examined in terms of themes such as the mother, the body, the land and history/memory. As well as representing artistic practices in the United States, Canada and Europe through the work of Orlan, Ana Mendieta and Jenny Saville, the book counters the west's artistic hegemony by equally studying women working in non-western contexts, such as the Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuna, Shimada Yoshika from Japan, Jin-me Yoon and Re-Hyun Park from Korea and Bracha Lichtenberg from Israel. British/Zanibari artist Lubiana Himid provides specially commissioned art.
