A selection of key essays by one of the most influential voices in
art history, including seven previously unpublished pieces. This
illustrated, edited collection of essays brings together for the
first time some of the pioneering art historian Linda Nochlin's
most important writings on modernism and modernity from across her
six-decade career. Before the publication of her seminal tract on
feminism in art, 'Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?',
Nochlin had already firmly established herself as a major
practitioner of a politically sophisticated and class-conscious
social art history, with her writings on modernism being
transformative to the discipline. Nochlin embraced Charles
Baudelaire's conviction that modernity meant to be of one's time -
and that the role of an art historian was to understand the art of
the past not only in its own historical context, but according to
the urgencies of the contemporary world. From academic debates
about the nude in the 18th century to the work of Robert Gober in
the 21st, whatever she turned her analytic eye to was very much
conceived as the art of the now - the art we need to look at to
navigate the complexities and contradictions of the present.
