In 1970, Judy Chicago and fifteen students founded the
groundbreaking Feminist Art Program (FAP) at Fresno State. Drawing
upon the consciousness-raising techniques of the women's liberation
movement, they created shocking new art forms depicting female
experiences. Collaborative work and performance art - including the
famous "Cunt Cheerleaders" - were program hallmarks. Moving to Los
Angeles, the FAP produced the first major feminist art
installation, Womanhouse (1972). Augmented by thirty-seven
illustrations and color plates, this interdisciplinary collection
of essays by artists and scholars, many of whom were eye witnesses
to landmark events, relates how feminists produced vibrant bodies
of art in Fresno and other locales where similar collaborations
flourished. Articles on topics such as African American artists in
New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco's Las Mujeres Muralistas
and Asian American Women Artists Association, and exhibitions in
Taiwan and Italy showcase the artistic trajectories that
destabilized traditional theories and practices and reshaped the
art world. An engaging editor's introduction explains how feminist
art emerged within the powerful women's movement that transformed
America. Entering the Picture is an exciting collection about the
provocative contributions of feminists to American art.
