Taking aim at the mostly male bastion of art theory and criticism,
Mira Schor brings a maverick perspective and provocative voice to
the issues of contemporary painting, gender representation, and
feminist art. Writing from her dual perspective of a practicing
painter and art critic, Schor's writing has been widely read over
the past fifteen years in Artforum, Art Journal, Heresies, and
M/E/A/N/I/N/G, a journal she coedited. Collected here, these essays
challenge established hierarchies of the art world of the 1980s and
1990s and document the intellectual and artistic development that
have marked Schor's own progress as a critic. Bridging the gap
between art practice, artwork, and critical theory, Wet includes
some of Schor's most influential essays that have made a
significant contribution to debates over essentialism. Articles
range from discussions of contemporary women artists Ida
Applebroog, Mary Kelly, and the Guerrilla Girls, to
"Figure/Ground," an examination of utopian modernism's fear of the
"goo" of painting and femininity. From the provocative
"Representations of the Penis," which suggests novel readings of
familiar images of masculinity and introduces new ones, to
"Appropriated Sexuality," a trenchant analysis of David Salle's
depiction of women, Wet is a fascinating and informative
collection. Complemented by over twenty illustrations, the essays
in Wet reveal Schor's remarkable ability to see and to make others
see art in a radically new light.
