In this pioneering study, Marion Arnold explores the connections,
hitherto hidden or neglected, between women and art in South
Africa. By doing so, she recovers the rich histories of South
African women artists and celebrates their creativity in the visual
arts. In a series of related essays teeming with fresh insights,
Marion Arnold asks new questions about the ways women have
portrayed themselves, depicted landscapes, painted images of plants
and sculpted the body. She examines, too, portraits of women (both
black and white) in service and the long history of representations
(usually by men) of the female 'other'. Throughout the book, the
connections Marion Arnold makes between ideas, artists and their
works are always illuminating and often unexpected. Here are not
only familiar names viewed afresh - such as Maggie Laubser, Irma
Stern, Helen Sebidi and Jane Alexander - but lesser-known artists
who are rediscovered and brought to life.
