This volume challenges the imagery of cities by looking through a
gendered lens at how women utilize urban space. Focusing on the
conceptual and methodological manner of boundaries, the book
reminds us that women are members of multiple and diverse groups
and as such, they can be active, creative, and powerful agents.
Multidisciplinary essays, contributed by urbanists, geographers,
political scientists, and historians, explore the ways in which
women confront, break down, resist, and form new boundaries and
interconnections, both visible and invisible. Arguing for a change
in the traditional agenda of cities, the authors investigate how
aspects of urban life and space would look considerably different
if the alternatives and options presented by women and other
marginalized groups were taken into account. They urge us toward a
better understanding of how diverse social groups interact, how
urban space can enhance such interaction, and what role formal and
informal laws, by-laws, policies, and other planning measures
should play.
The essential introduction to the life and work of Jackson Pollock,
the pioneering Abstract Expressionist painter.
Literary Nonfiction. Art Studies. Edited by Helen A. Harrison.
Foreword by Irving Sandler. The absence of traditional subject
matter was a primary issue for painters in mid-twentieth-century
America whose imagery lacked representational references; it was
also a problem for those struggling to understand modern art.
Robert Goodnough (19170-2011), then a New York University graduate
student and an artist deeply involved with these issues, responded
to the situation in a 1950 research paper, "Subject Matter of the
Artist: An Analysis of Contemporary Subject Matter in Painting as
Derived from Interviews with Those Artists Referred to as the
Intrasubjectivists." Goodnough's paper constitutes the first
scholarly work on the artists who became known as the Abstract
Expressionists and includes interviews with William Baziotes,
Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, Barnett
Newman, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. This previously
unpublished study is presented here for the first time alongside
related writings by Goodnough.
Step into a gentler, simpler world. A girl stays with her
grandparents in the summer of 1971 - but it might almost as well be
1961 or even 1951, because nothing changes in Grandma's house. This
may remind you of your own childhood in the days before mobile
phones and video recorders, and I hope it will make you feel warm
and happy. Sarah
